Chef Dominque Ansel and his Dominique Ansel Workshop tap the talents of Nami Nori, a Japanese restaurant in the West Village to work on the new range of Mochi Ice Cream Temakis together. The restaurant specializes in creating open temaki style sushi and this time, the duo launched a crispy sweet option of the food. This idea came to fruition by Ansel and his team and the result is a gluten-free Mochi Ice Cream Temaki that is fruity and sweet.
The first of the three includes an olive oil sorbet that is topped off with vanilla mochi, lime zest, and passionfruit granita. This is followed by a Madagascan vanilla ice cream and vanilla mochi covered by strawberry agar gelee and fresh strawberries. Finally, it is rounded out by hazelnut ice cream with vanilla mochi and chocolate sea salt crispy rice.
