I have a huge sweet tooth but funny thing is, I don’t like cold sweets very much because I have very sensitive teeth. But all of that went out the door when I encountered Bubbies mochi ice cream at a food trade show last year. Mochi is originally a Japanese creation of a sticky, glutinous rice shell with some sort of sweet paste filling (usually red bean or green bean) but in this case, the filling is delectable ice cream!
I met the owners, Keith Robbins and his wife, last year and they are the sweetest people. I asked them how they decided on flavors and they told me that Keith tests out everything himself and mixes up different combinations, which is what I loved most about Bubbies. The flavor combinations are not the typical ones catered to Asian tastes (red bean and green tea) but instead Blueberry, Chocolate/Coconut, Mango, Tiramisu, the list goes on…
Only the best and all-natural ingredients go into Bubbies ice cream (named after the Keith’s late grandmother), which I think is the reason it’s so tasty!The flavors are amazing and refreshing. And they’re the perfect snack size.
I met the Robbins before I booked my venue and was dreaming up ways that I could incorporate their mochi ice cream into my wedding. They told me that they once created a stacked mochi ice cream “cake!” I was salivating at the thought. I had been hoping to create a mochi bar so that my guests could enjoy one of my favorite desserts, particularly on a hot day in July… but alas with the amount of food we’ll have that day it might be too much!
If you want to try Bubbies mochi, the last time I checked, Whole Foods was carrying them in their ice cream section. I have to warn you that they are a bit pricey, but worth every penny!
They can also be found online and shipped overnight, though Bubbies is based in Hawaii and the shipping costs, well, may be a bit extreme…
