Building on its original mochi ice cream portfolio, My/Mochi debuted the first-ever My/Mochi sorbets in raspberry and peach mango varieties. These light and refreshing treats combine premium real fruit sorbets with chewy mochi dough for a satisfying multi-textured eating experience.
"Mochi is really becoming a major trend as consumers seek to explore new foods that are rooted in culture, deliver unique eating experiences and can be a vehicle for different flavors and textures," said My/Mochi's Chief Marketing Officer Brigette Wolf, "We also know that those with a sweet tooth want lower calorie, portion-controlled desserts–especially in the summer."
While My/Mochi Raspberry Sorbets are 70 calories a serving and the Peach Mango variety comes in at just 45 calories a serving, both have zero fat, are gluten-free and are made without artificial ingredients.
