Mochi

My daughter keeps raving about these little dough covered balls of ice cream her boyfriend introduced her too. She gets them at her local Harris Teeter.

She is always talking about weird and different foods she tries so I didn’t pay it much mind. 

When she was home this past weekend, we took a trip to Harris Teeter. This being the highest price grocery store in town, we do not visit it much, but they had an item I wanted that no one else has. They also had the ice cream things shes been talking about and she urged us to get a box to try. 

Looking in the freezer section, I seen several flavors of what is called “Mochi”. I chose the salted caramel flavor.

These are are a Japanese made dessert and they are exactly as she described. Little dough balls with ice cream inside. I sorta of snarled my nose but thought, “why not” I mean they are ONLY like $6.00 a box!”.

But I had to try it. I mean, They looked fun! 

There are six in a box and each one is about the size of a ping pong ball. 

She and my husband watched me intensly as I bit into what felt like a ball of playdough. They waited on a response. With powdered lips and a full mouth, I said “Hold on, I'm a little confused right now”. 

I took another bite. “Not too bad”. 

I refused to share my Mochi and told them to get their own to try. I think I liked it. It was different.

With only 110 calories, it made the perfect snack that satisfied my sweet tooth for the evening. 

I would like to try the other flavors if I come across a coupon. But for now, I’ll stick to my ice cream in a cone and my “mochi” from Nick. 

Have you ever tried anything like this?
