The other day (September 28th), "Raw chocolate ice cream eaten with a spoon" was released by Morinaga & Co., Ltd. There are many ice creams combined with chocolate, but it seems that co-starring with raw chocolate is rare.


Looking at the package image of the new release information, it seems that the vanilla ice cream in the cup is covered with a layer of raw chocolate. The softness of raw chocolate is personal, but is it possible to maintain its texture even with ice cream products? I was curious, so I decided to try it.

■ I tried "raw chocolate ice cream to eat with a spoon"

The contents of the bag are chocolate-colored chic cups. The price was 172 yen (tax included) at a convenience store.


When you remove the lid, a surface covered with cocoa appears.


Even if you just took it out of the freezer, the spoon is smooth. If you scoop it up, you'll see a layer of vanilla ice cream and pavé chocolate.


The first thing I feel when I eat it is the stuffy ice cream and the bitter bitterness of cocoa. Then the creamy sweetness of the ice cream melted by the heat in the mouth spreads. And from the time when the ice cream melts, the raw chocolate gradually melts. It stays on the tongue for a long time while giving off a rich sweetness with bitter. For this reason, it takes a long time to taste a bite and the satisfaction is high.


Above all, the raw chocolate part is smoother and richer than I imagined. It is a full-fledged taste that can be confidently recommended to those who like chocolate.

Most of the combinations of ice cream and chocolate are mainly ice cream, such as those coated with chocolate and those with chocolate sauce or chocolate bar in the ice cream. In this product, ice cream is superior to chocolate in terms of capacity, but chocolate is the main character in its taste. The ice cream that melts quickly and the heavy raw chocolate make a bite like an appetizer and a main dish.


A dish that can be said to be a new dessert that is a bit different from conventional cup ice cream. It's not too cold, so I think it's the perfect ice cream for a snack in the coming season.
