It’s always nice to try out something new in the dessert aisle. Life can get a bit boring with the same dessert options, so I was up for trying something new.
We’ve all heard of Mochi, but now the London Dough Company, Doughlicious, has come up with something entirely new for frozen sweet snack lovers: Dough-Chi, the delicious new cookie dough covered ice cream treat – ‘cookie dough with an ice cream soul’.
Available in Ocado now, Dough-Chi is an exciting new range that will appeal to those that want a delicious, bite-size sweet snack that can be enjoyed straight from the freezer. Dough-chi comes in five delicious and exciting flavours: Dulce De Leche, Chocolate Truffle, Blueberry Yoghurt Cheesecake, Birthday Cake and Chocolate Chip, with two being vegan: Chocolate Truffle and Chocolate Chip. The whole range is also gluten free.
I found that it was best to allow Dough-Chi to have a few minutes out of the freezer before serving. It’s easy to serve up as much or as little as you want as each ball is separated within the packaging. This means Dough-Chi is really easy to use and serve. We found that 3 balls were the perfect serving for us (anymore was a bit much in one serving) and that meant a box served 2 people each time. If you love cookie dough, then this is the dessert for you.
The Birthday Cake variety is the obvious choice for a celebration. The decadent almond flavoured cookie dough is coated in birthday sprinkles. Inside there’s vanilla ice cream for that perfect sweet treat. After the doughy outside, the fresh texture and taste of the ice cream inside provides the perfect contrast.
Another favourite of ours was the Blueberry Frozen Yoghurt Dough-Chi. The fabulous frozen blueberry yoghurt is really moreish and it all comes wrapped in blueberry cheesecake flavoured cookie dough.
I found them really handy to have in the freezer as you have a great dessert at hand to serve at the end of a meal or simply as a treat.
Disclosure: I was sent samples for the purposes of this review.
For starters, we picked the home smoked mackerel pate and the bone marrow. The pâté came with a sourdough crisp, deep-fried seaweed cucumber, and apple salsa. It was a tasty pâté with the flavoursome mackerel. It would have been nice to have a little more sourdough, as there was quite a lot of pâté. The seaweed cucumber and apple salsa provided a welcome freshness and contrast. The bone marrow was grilled and served on toasted rye bread, with a compote of unripe berries and green onion. I’d not tried bone marrow previously and I really enjoyed the umami flavour and it had a welcoming and warmy buttery and creamy taste. I loved the depth of flavour which was rich and savoury.
For main course we chose roasted and glazed free range chicken and black bream fillet. The roast chicken was of very good quality and melted in the mouth. It was served with wild watercress, warm salad of chanterelles and corn. We picked out a side of fries to go with the dish. I’d have described them as chips, rather than fries, but they were lovely fluffy chips that complemented the chicken dish. The black bream was a very popular dish, in fact as we were leaving they had run out of it. The fish was well cooked and tasty. Served with potato rosti, raw fennel, sauce of sour beer and pumpkin seed, which went well together. I ordered a side of leeks, peas, and pancetta, which was a delight. The peas really lifted the dish with their sweetness.
