A couple months ago, I was contacted by the nice folks at Bubbie's Homemade Ice Cream & Desserts — makers of mochi ice cream — about reviewing their new vegan mochi bites. I will ALWAYS say yes to ice cream! So I did, and they quickly placed a package (on dry ice) in the mail. But then it got lost somewhere in my giant office building. The tracking showed it was delivered, but no one from my office had seen it. I emailed a few other offices in the building, but my ice cream was just missing.
Sigh ... Thankfully, when I told the Bubbie's people that my package was lost, they tried again! And this time, my Vegan Chocolate Mochi Bites arrived safely! A co-worker intercepted the package and stashed them in the freezer for me until I got to work. Yay!!
I have long had a love for mochi. If you've never had this sweetened rice flour dough, you're in for a real treat. It has a texture that's both soft and chewy at the same time. I LOVE IT! And mochi is even better when you stuff it with ice cream.
The Bubbie's bites are filled with creamy chocolate ice cream made with coconut base. Eating one is like having an explosion of goodness in your mouth — creamy, chewy, soft, cold, coconutty, and chocolatey. Does it get any better than that?
The Bubbie's dairy-free bites are supposed to hit stores this summer! They're be available in green tea, chocolate, mango, vanilla, cherry and mint, and all of the dairy-free bites are kosher, gluten-free, and non-GMO. Check out their website for location info. I know I'll be keeping my freezer stocked with these little guys all year round.

OMG I LOVE MOCHI!!!! That is so awesome that you got to try this, I definitely want to and I hope that I'll be able to find them! Their flavors sound so delicious!
These look awesome! I am so happy that ice cream mochi has become so trendy because I love the stuff! Trader Joe's has a bunch of new flavors, but it is good to know there are more options out there. Perfect portioned bites!
I haven't seen these here, at least not vegan ones, but they sound so amazing!
