CREAMY COUTURE:

SIX FASHIONABLE ICE CREAM DESSERTS GRACE THE PAGES OF HYATT HOTELS OF ATLANTA’S MENU

Summer’s Stylish Offerings also Give Back to Honey Bee Research

HYATT HOTELS OF ATLANTA, Hyatt Regency Atlanta and Grand Hyatt Atlanta announce the debut of A La Mode, a new decadent and stylish ice cream dessert menu. A La Mode, meaning “in fashion,” features a combination of Häagen-Dazs® Ice Cream’s most celebrated flavors, house made desserts, seasonal fruit and classic sundae ingredients for a “buzz-worthy” ice cream experience.

“The new desserts in the A La Mode menu utilize local ingredients and unique ice cream flavors allowing our guests to indulge fashionably this summer,” said Executive Chef Fritz Doss, Hyatt Regency Atlanta. “We found that our guests want traditional ice cream desserts such as Classic Hot Fudge Sundae as well as inventive flavor combinations and house made pastries, which lead us to the creation of the Warm Apple Tart and Mediterranean Coupe.”

Hyatt Hotels of Atlanta’s A La Mode presents its couture dessert collection including unique ingredients and distinctive flavors:

• Vanilla Honey Bee: Vanilla Honey Bee Ice Cream, Seasonal Fruit
• Chocolate Ice Cream Tiramisu: Espresso-Laced Ladyfingers, Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream, Mascarpone, Cinnamon, Cocoa, and Chocolate Espresso Beans
• Warm Apple Tart: Crispy Puff Pastry, Caramelized Apple, Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
• Mediterranean Coupe: Pistachio Ice Cream, Rich Olive Oil Cake, Apricot Compote, and Yogurt
• Strawberry Parfait: Strawberry and Swiss Almond Vanilla Ice Creams with Layers of Butterscotch, Fresh Strawberry and Crushed Meringue
• Classic Hot Fudge Sundae: Vanilla Ice Cream Topped with Chocolate Fudge, Whipped Cream, Crushed Walnuts, and a Cherry

A Sweet Way to Keep the Buzz Going

The Vanilla Honey Bee dessert on the A La Mode menu uses fresh seasonal fruit and features a new ice cream flavor developed to specifically to raise awareness of the plight of the honey bees and to help fund research to save them. Tens of thousands of honey bees in 24 states across the United States are vanishing from their hives and dying in the fields. The Häagen-Dazs brand created a new Web site to provide more information on its efforts to support honey bee populations: http://helpthehoneybees.com.

Honey bees play a key role in creating ingredients regularly found in ice cream, such as almonds and strawberries, 40% of the ingredients that are found in many of the unique Häagen-Dazs flavors. A portion of the proceeds from Hyatt’s purchase of Vanilla Honey Bee ice cream will be allocated to Häagen-Dazs’ $250,000 donation to University of California at Davis and Pennsylvania State University for sustainable pollination research programs.

The chic A La Mode collection is now available in Kafe Kobenhaven at Hyatt Regency Atlanta and Cassis Restaurant at Grand Hyatt Atlanta and through in-room dining at both hotels.
