The Ube Purple Yam flavor made me a fan<\/h3>\n\n\n

I’m not the biggest fan of mochi<\/a>, a Japanese pastry made from glutinous rice, so I surprised myself when I added these Bubbies mochi ice cream<\/a> treats to my cart after I came across them while online shopping at Safeway<\/a>. I was also surprised at how much I ended up liking them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treats consist of flavored ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of mochi. The mochi is chewy and gelatinous, but thin enough that it actually complements the ice cream.

Ube<\/a>, a purple yam from the Philippines, has a difficult to describe flavor, which to me is utterly forgettable – probably for this very reason. It’s sweet and somewhat fruity, pretty subtle and filled with umami.

The results were for a very enjoyable, not very sweet, treat. It actually made me think it’s something my grandmother would have enjoyed – which only confirms the fact that I’ve gotten old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treats come in a wide variety of flavors<\/a>, though only a couple where available at my local Safeway. I’m totally intrigued about some of the others – blood orange, milk tea and passion fruit sound particularly interested – but I’ll have to wait to find them elsewhere. The package of 6 was $4 on sale at Safeway, but they usually sell for $7.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also tried the matcha<\/a> green tea mochi and I was surprised at how much I liked them. I’m not a huge fan of matcha, though the flavor has been slowly growing on me in the last few years. Here, I actually appreciated it. Once again I liked the consistency of the thin mochi and the light ice cream, but also appreciated how lightly flavored and sweetened the ice cream was. It was quite refreshing in a summer day. I won’t rush to order it again, I’m still not a matcha devotee, but I’ll finish the box. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
