Lotte Confectionery continues to push boundaries when it comes to ice cream and the latest flavor does not disappoint -- the Chal-tteok Spicy Cheese Tteokbokki flavor invites the adventurous and curious to try. Tteokbokki is a Korean spicy rice cake and it is transformed into an ice cream.
Normally, the dish is often enjoyed with boiled eggs, scallions, and fish cakes. The Chal-tteok Spicy Cheese Tteokbokki flavor evokes the spicy flavors with a jalapeño flavored orange glutinous rice flour wrapper. This is paired with some cheddar cheese ice cream that is packed with spicy chips for the gochujang flavor and cookie crumbs. It is said to have the sticky texture of the rice cake and has a harmonious palette.
