Aldi launches a UK supermarket-first - the new Dubai Chocolate Style Mochi
Budget supermarket Aldi is set to launch a dessert that fuses two of the biggest viral food sensations in one - and it's going to be the perfect heatwave snack
Aldi is set to release a supermarket first - as they continue the Dubai Chocolate hype. With temperatures set to soar once again these brand new Dubai Chocolate style Mochi are the perfect snack.
The dessert infuses two of the hottest and most viral food trends on social media - the Dubai Chocolate craze and the continuing Mochi obsession.
Mochi ice cream is a small, round confection consisting of a soft, pounded sticky rice dumpling (mochi) formed around an ice cream filling. This new flavour jons the already loved mochi line-up in Aldi, as each decadent piece features soft pistachio ice cream, crunchy Kataifi pastry and a sweet cocoa rice dough - perfect for an after-dinner treat or summer indulgence.
With ice cream sales already soaring 25% year-on-year, this viral sensation is set to be a guaranteed summer hit. Dubai Chocolate Style Mochi (£3.99, 6 x 35g), available in stores from 14th July - and be quick, as they're expected to sell out.
It comes after Aldi launched a brand new Kombucha style drink. Priced at £1.69, shoppers can snap up a 330ml bottle of The Juice Company Kombucha in stores. The nutritional drink is available in three flavours - including passionfruit, ginger and lemon and wild berry.
Aldi shoppers can keep their cholesterol and blood sugar levels down thanks to a health-enhancing beverage that's hitting shelves. The budget supermarket is now selling a kombucha drink, which is also known for its immune system and gut health-boosting properties.
Known for its health benefits, Kombucha contains live cultures that promote a healthy gut. According to Aldi, the drink combines "a tropical tang with bubbly refreshment."
The retailer says The Juice Company Passionfruit Kombucha is "bursting with a sweet yet tart flavour", and the ginger and lemon flavour provides "a warming immune system boost along with a zesty kick of citrus to offer a refreshing pick-me-up."
For shoppers looking for something sweet yet natural, The Juice Company Wild Berry Kombucha "brings a symphony of delicious berries," according to Aldi. The new kombucha drink follows Aldi's £2.29 Kefir Frozen Yoghurt, which comes in chocolate, mango and passionfruit, and strawberry, which is packed with calcium and protein to "boost gut health and wellbeing."
Kombucha made from green tea may offer many of the same health benefits as green tea itself, such as weight loss and blood sugar management. According to Healthline, kombucha is also rich in tea polyphenols and acetic acid, which have both been shown to suppress the growth of undesirable bacteria and yeasts.
