Bubbies Ice Cream recently debuted three new non-mochi dairy products made with a base of coconut milk and sweet mochi dough. These varieties remix favorite flavors like Vegan Strawberry Mochi and Vegan Chocolate Mochi, plus share brand-new varieties like Vegan Mango Mochi.
Katie Cline, Vice President of Marketing at Bubbies Ice Cream, says "We’ve seen a huge surge in demand from consumers seeking comforting indulgences over the past year, so it’s natural that ice cream would be one of the first foods they turned to. Not only are shoppers looking for ice cream as a comfort food, but also as a unique experience – from texture to flavor discovery and natural ingredients." To make the products accessible to as many people as possible, the brand opted for vegan formulas.
