Mochidoki Review
I’m a HUGE fan of Mochi ice cream. If you’ve never had Mochi, you should. It’s a Japanese dessert made up of Mochi (a pounded sticky rice) with an ice cream filling. It’s the perfect size so you don’t feel like a total heiferĀ downing a whole tub of ice cream (so hard to stop once you’ve started), and that little bundle of deliciousness is super cute for entertaining.
I received samples of some rockin’ Mochi ice cream this week from Mochidoki. They came in a cute little box that looked like a jewelry case. I loved this presentation, it felt as if I was about to embark in something truly luxurious.Since I am on a diet (grrr diets), it was perfect. I allowed myself one Mochi at the end of each work shift, at 100 calories per mochi, they were an awesome treat.

My Faves
Lychee Colada – Ā This one is made of lychee ice cream which is mixed with REAL coconut and FRESH Ā pineapple and then wrapped in Mochi…Yum! I am thrilled to say it was not cloyingly sweet, rather elegant and definite hints of pineapple.
Raspberry White Chocolate Mochidoki – WOW. It tasted like breakfast cereal in the best way. The ice cream was gooey and suddenly there was a white chocolate crunch that was pleasantly unexpected.
Mandarin Orange Cream:Ā This one was like a creamsicle, except better. It was creamy, citrusy, and totally reminded me of my childhood.
