Yahoo Finance Aldi’s Version Of Little Moons Mochi Ice Cream Balls Now Come In Two Häagen-Dazs Inspired Flavours
Last year, everyone on TikTok suddenly became obsessed with Little Moons Mochi. These little mochi ice cream balls are so delicious, people just couldn’t get enough of them.
Little Moons Mochi Ice Cream Balls have been around for a while, but some people were only introduced to them recently when the hashtag #littlemoons started trending and racked up 285 million views and counting on TikTok.
So, we’re not surprised that Aldi has jumped on the bandwagon and launched its own mochi ice cream balls in May last year.
Back when these tasty treats were released, Aldi’s Wao Mochi Balls came in three super-summery flavours: tropical, mango and coconut. But now the budget supermarket has launched two new flavours, and they're given us serious Häagen-Dazs vibes. But which would you pick - caramel or strawberry cheesecake flavour?
In case you’re wondering what mochi ice cream balls actually are, they’re delicious bite-sized sweet treats, made up of balls of ice cream wrapped in tasty rice flour dough. They’re honestly so yummy.
Fancy making your own mochi balls? Well, now you can! Thanks to @thisisplanetfood, we now have a recipe for Biscoff mochi balls!
Here's what you'll need:
To begin with, you'll need to fill a baking tray with scoops of Biscoff ice cream, ready to be placed back in the freezer for a minimum of two hours or overnight.
Next up, it's time to prepare the mochi dough. Place the rice flour, sugar and water into a bowl and mix. Cover this dough with cling film and microwave it in one minute bursts, making sure to whisk between each burst.
At the point you can't whisk anymore (usually around the third burst), you'll need to grab a wet silicone spatula to bring the dough away from the edges.
After that, stir in some Biscoff crumbs and give it a good mix. Then, dust your surface with cornflour and roll out the dough, ready to cut into small sections.
Once cut into sections, add your ice cream to the middle and gently wrap the mochi dough pieces over them. Then all that's left is for you to pop them back in the freezer to set.
It might sound a teeny-tiny bit fiddly, but it's totally worth the prep!
