When I was about 9 years old, there was a local ice cream brand that sells mochi ice cream which was then discontinued a few months later. At that time, I ate a few balls of mochi ice cream and the nice memory stayed with me till now. Recently I took a walk down memory lane and bought a pack of this Lotte mochi ice cream.
This mochi ice cream is bigger than the ones I ate as a child and there are two of them in one pack.
The mochi skin is thin, smooth and soft. The red bean ice cream fillings have a strong red bean taste which I like but overall, it is too sweet for me.
After eating this, I got curious to find out whether I could make my own so I did an online search for a recipe and found one at
Just One Cookbook which looks doable but then since I don't cook, I don't think I will attempt it. Easier to just buy or just eat ice cream without the mochi.
MYR6.90 nett for 1 pack with two mochi ice cream balls. As it is too sweet for me, I don't think I will buy it again.
Ya easier to buy than to make on your own, the mochi ice cream looks yummy, sweet is not a problem for me hee hee
ReplyDeleteThen you must try this. I am sure you can get this lotte brand easily in Singapore.
DeleteLotte is Korean, I guess. Don't think we can get that here or I sure would wanna try.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is from Korea. Can try if you visit midvalley next time.
DeleteIf you don't cook why did you look for the recipe... haha. This looks like the kuih we have here with the floury exterior and sweet chopped peanut filling.
ReplyDeleteI know the local kuih you are talking about. I always look for and study recipes to understand what exactly am I eating and how they are made. Cannot simply put food into stomach just like that, right?
DeleteHehe very true.
Delete:D
DeleteI love mochi but have never tasted mochi ice cream. I too would rather buy than make it because we only eat one or two pieces.
ReplyDeleteYou can find this product in aeon supermarket.
DeleteNever tried this before.. yes, nowadays people prefer less sugary.. me too in particular :)
ReplyDeleteOnly the the health conscious ones.
DeleteThis is interesting dessert which I had never tried before. I agree that sometimes it is more practical to buy than cook or make them ourselves when we only need one serving.
ReplyDeleteAre you interested to try? If want to eat a lot better to cook it yourself, right?
DeleteI am interested to try lah. All the bloggers often influence me and I am getting fatter.
DeleteShould be fine for you. You just need to go with your wife for Base Camp training and you will shed off all those fats in no time at all. :D
