For years, I’ve checked the mochi freezer case at the front of the store, in the hopes that a dairy-free flavor would appear. It was always in vain, until now. Bubbies Vegan Mochi has launched, and it’s available in both single serves (in that freezer case) and multi-packs with other novelty brands like My Mochi. This plant-based twist on a Hawaiian favorite is made with a dairy-free coconut milk ice cream core, surrounded by a naturally gluten-free sweet rice dough.
Bubbies Vegan Mochi is a Cool Way to Enjoy a Hawaiian-Style Treat
You can find all of these dairy-free flavors in 6-pack boxes. But the chocolate and strawberry flavors of Bubbies Vegan Mochi are also available as single serves in places that sell Bubbies singles in those big freezer cases.

More Allergen Notes
Like with many products, the “may contain” statement on Bubbies Vegan Mochi is misleading. It does not include milk/dairy, but according to their kosher certification, there is some place in production where dairy cross-contamination can occur. BUT, there is always some degree of risk for potential cross contamination with allergens in the production of any food. As always, contact the manufacturer if you are concerned about cross-contamination risk to assess if you feel safe with their sourcing and protocols.
