My/Mochi Ice Cream is planning a summertime rollout for its newly created Oat Milk Frozen Dessert. The non-dairy and vegan treat is gluten-free and has no GMO ingredients.
Wrapped in pillowy sweet rice dough, the handheld Oat Milk Frozen Dessert has a similar taste and texture to traditional dairy ice cream and will be available in Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate, Neapolitan and Salted Caramel flavors.
With the swap from cashew cream to oat milk in My/Mochi’s non-dairy and vegan offerings, snackers looking to limit or eliminate their dairy intake and those concerned with nut allergens are able to enjoy what the manufacturer describes as “a textural wonderland of flavor anytime the craving strikes.”
“Oat milk continues to grow in popularity, overtaking soy to become one of the most popular plant-based dairy options,” said CEO Craig Berger. “My/Mochi Oat Milk Frozen Dessert reinforces our commitment to revolutionizing the world of snacking with oat milk ranking high on protein and fiber while being allergy-friendly.”
Los Angeles, California-based Mochi Ice Cream Co., maker of the My/Mochi Ice Cream, is North America’s largest manufacturer of mochi ice cream and the USA’s fastest growing frozen novelty.
