Thai Tea Mini Mochi
"In a twist on the more traditional mochi-wrapped ice cream we've been selling in our stores for many years (which has included such flavors as Green Tea, Chocolate, Strawberry, Pumpkin Pie, and more), Trader Joe's Thai Tea Mini Mochi looks like ice cream, eats like ice cream, and yet, contains no cream. Or any dairy, for that matter-these Mochi are totally non-dairy and totally tasty. Thai Tea Mini Mochi begin with a thin, tender, outer layer of mochi made with glutinous* rice flour. Inside that delicate wrapper is a creamy nugget of frozen, ice-cream-like dessert flavored with a strong black tea that's native to Northern Thailand. The unique, delicate flavor of our Thai Tea Mini Mochi is inspired by cha-yen-a traditional, Thai drink that's made with strongly brewed black (or Ceylon) tea, sugar, and condensed milk and served over ice. Except, as promised, the Thai Tea we use to flavor our Mochi doesn't contain milk; instead, it contains coconut milk! We've never encountered dairy-free, mochi-wrapped treats quite like these, and we've definitely never seen them in "mini" form. You likely haven't, either. And once you do, you'll be happy you did. *Glutinous, as in: "sticky," NOT "full of gluten"-rice doesn't contain any inherent gluten"
