Over the years, Trader Joe’s has carried most of the mainstream flavors of mochi ice cream, usually from Mikawaya. But more recently they’ve gone privatewith Thai tea, mango, green tea, vanilla, and now they’ve got my favorite: Trader Joe’s chocolate peanut butter mochi ice cream ($4.49 for a package of six).
Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peanut Butter mochi ice cream is really about the peanut butter. The chocolate mochi layer is nice and thin, so even if you think you’re not a fan of the texture, you might still want to try this one. The chocolate flavor is there, but it takes a backseat to the peanut butter.
While we wait for the Peppermint Hold the Cones to come in, this is going to be my ice cream dessert of choice at Trader Joe’s. They certainly haven’t slouched in the ice cream department last few months, bringing out Neapolitan Joe-Joe’s ice cream, Maple Ginger Cookie Swirl, and even the light ice creams. But nope, it’s the chocolate peanut butter mochi that had me saying, why did I only buy one box?!
