Mochi Donuts
Mochi donuts, well known as Pon-de-ring In Japan, are delicious mochi-like ring-shaped donuts with a signature bouncy and chewy texture and colorful chocolate ganache glazings on top. Apart from their fun shape and versatility in flavoring them (that will mainly come from the glaze), I love them because of their texture: crisp outside with a bouncy, chewy, soft mochi-like inside.
