mochi ice cream

Cold rice dessert

Mochi ice cream is a confection consisting of ice cream wrapped in a soft, chewy layer of mochi—pounded Japanese rice dough.

The mochi coating keeps the ice cream contained and adds textural contrast.

Flavors range from traditional green tea and red bean to chocolate and mango.

The bite-sized balls are typically eaten frozen: We picked up some mochi ice cream for dessert.
