Mexican Mochi

Mochi Ice Cream is a Japanese dessert of ice cream coated in a sweet glutinous rice dough. Mochi is creamy, chewy, sweet, and conveniently portable.

This is a hand made mochi incorporating mexican flavors. The inside is a kiwi and sour cream sorbet. It’s coated in a glutinous rice dough spiced with cinnamon, anise, clove, and vanilla. The spiced riche dough gives the flavor profile of the refreshing Mexican rice milk drink horchata. The mochi is sitting on a bed of sweet corn, agave, and vanilla puree (I love vegetables in dessert!). Finally, the mochi is garnished with candied lime zest to give it that extra mexican flair.
