Ice Cream with Some Mochi Please!

We all love ice cream and if you know Japanese sweets, then you’ll know what Mochi is. Mochi basically made from sweet rice that gets pounded into a sticky, chewy texture concoction. It’s so YUMMY! Often times, inside the mochi are sweet red beans or chestnuts so sometimes nothing at all. Mochi has become so popular now if you go to Pinkberry or Yogurberry and other various trendy frozen yogurt eateries, you can get it as a optional topping. Again…so good! So, for a while now they have created a thing called Mochi Ice Cream. Basically a ball of ice cream is wrapped with a super soft, thin layer of mochi. There are various flavors from chocolate, vanilla to green tea and mango, strawberry and red bean. If you have never tried it, try it. But beware if it’s your first time eating mochi. You may not be used to the texture. They come in a pack of 6 so make sure you have people around you who can finish off the box in case it’s not your thing. They may sell mochi ice cream at your local grocery store or Trader Joe’s in the frozen foods department. TRY IT!
