Cute, chewy, and dangerously poppable—Trader Joe’s mochi knows how to keep dessert interesting. From the freezer aisle to your snack stash, we’re ranking the good, the bad, and the ones that made us say “Wait…what is that flavor?” It’s mochi madness, and we’re not holding back.
Another mochi flavor down, a few more to go! This frozen dessert is so refreshing, especially with the flavor being strawberry. I normally don’t like strawberry ice creams but I enjoyed this one. It didn’t have an artificial taste and wasn’t too strong of a flavor. Despite all of the good things I have to say, this one just doesn’t compare to the ube. As of now, the ube is still my favorite with the vanilla following. I’d consider the peanut butter mochi and this flavor to be tied! Which one should I try next?!
I’m slowly making my way through the various mochi desserts at TJ’s! I liked this flavor but it’s not my favorite (out of the ones I’ve tried). I enjoyed how subtle the peanut butter was yet found the chocolate flavor to be nonexistent. These still were delicious despite the lack of chocolate, so I’d repurchase! All of the Mochi desserts are great for a little pre-portioned treat or snack, which is lovely considering I plow through cartons of ice cream like I’ll never eat again. As of now, the ube Mochi is my favorite with the vanilla coming in second place. Up next for me to try… strawberry! What’s your favorite Mochi flavor at TJ’s?
Behold, the ube mochi!! I finally got my hands on this product after endlessly searching. My local stores were always out of it… always. I ripped the box open in the car and honey, I’m not mad about it. These are phenomenal. I get vanilla meets cotton candy meets little bits of yam vibes. The rice dough was very sweet and chewy. The ice cream was unbelievably creamy. This is definitely a step up from the traditional vanilla mochi and I thought those were great!! Have you tried these yet? Or am I the last person on the planet to try it?!
Since I’ve failed to get my hands on the new ube mochi, I decided to give these a try. I’ve never had mochi before so this was a fun experience. I really enjoyed the chewiness of the rice dough paired with the creaminess of the ice cream. These are a perfect little treat because you can have one mochi and be satisfied! Or you can be like me and eat multiple because you don’t ever want the goodness to end. I took one point off because I would have loved for the vanilla flavor to be stronger (maybe if it were vanilla bean?). I will definitely get these again and will be trying all of the flavors that TJ’s has to offer! Which mochi makes an appearance in your cart most often?!
I’m so bummed about this product! My boyfriend is on this massive mochi kick so he’s been trying all of the flavors that TJ’s has to offer. This was next on his list and sadly it won’t be a repurchase. Let me start by saying that the mango flavor was really good. It wasn’t overly sweet but had the perfectly amount of mango flavor. The problem with this product was the sorbet consistency. I really enjoy sorbets but it was way too icy. I felt as if I was chewing on ice. I let the mochi sit out for 5 minutes and there was no change. Biting into the soft rice dough and then chomping on the sorbet was not enjoyable.
Sadly I won’t be repurchasing this product but I’ll definitely be picking up a carton of the mango sorbet. I unfortunately can’t get past the texture of this and am nervous about the other dairy free options. Is the Thai tea mochi the same consistency?!
