Mochi ice cream is a Japanese dessert made with a soft, pounded sticky rice (mochi) wrapper filled with sweet, creamy ice cream.

The ice cream filling in mochi usually contains dairy, so it's not typically suitable for those with lactose intolerance unless it's made with non-dairy ice cream.

Some varieties of mochi ice cream do contain nuts. Always check the ingredient list if you have a nut allergy.

Mochi ice cream is made by encasing a ball of ice cream in a thin, soft layer of mochi, made from sweet glutinous rice flour.

Yes, mochi ice cream can be made vegan using dairy-free ice cream and ensuring there are no animal products in the sweetener used in the mochi.
