What is Ice Cream Sushi?
Despite its name, ice cream sushi doesn’t actually contain any fish or rice. Instead, it uses a thin layer of pounded rice cake (mochi) as the “seaweed” wrap, which adds a chewy and slightly sweet flavor. The filling is typically ice cream, but you can also add fruit, chocolate chips, or other sweet treats. The rolls are then sliced into bite-sized pieces, just like real sushi.
