Little Moons Japanese Ice Cream is currently available at Selfridges and Ocado, and I discovered them in Selfridge's Food Hall in late May. This Japanese ice cream is shaped in balls with an outer shell that keeps the ice cream chilled inside. The outer shell is made of soft rice dough, which is hard to explain the flavour of but the consistency is similar to marzipan. Inside this shell is the ice cream.
Little Moons comes in a variety of flavours from vanilla to salted caramel to raspeberry to lemon to coconut. The frozen cabinet contains approximately twelve different flavours to choose from, and there is a slight discount for purchasing more than five.
I tried the lemon and the coconut ice cream balls, which were good but this ice cream does have an unfamiliar taste which is attributed to the rice flour, which is unlike anything that I have tried before. It's similar to the texture of marzipan or gum paste/sugar paste for cakes, but it does not have much of a flavour. It's currently available from Ocado or in Selfridge's Foot Hall in a cabinet on the floor.
