Soft, chewy and creamy on the inside. Copenhagen just got a dessert upgrade. This is Mochi Time in Torvehallerne, and they do mochi two ways: classic, and with ice cream inside.
The place
Mochi Time is a counter inside Torvehallerne, the covered market by Nørreport, which makes it the ideal sweet stop when you are already grazing your way through the stalls. It is focused, a Japanese dessert classic given a modern twist.
What we ate
We began with sesame mochi and black sesame ice cream inside, the perfect balance of sweet and savory in one bite. Next, mango mochi with mango sorbet inside, fruity and refreshing, all yours if you love mango. Then the peanut butter one, chewy outside with a creamy, nutty filling, the perfect salty-sweet combo, and best of all not too sweet. Finishing strong with the matcha mochi: matcha ice cream inside, with a top torched to order, a must for matcha fans.
Who it is for
Grab a mixed box, find a seat around the market and argue about which flavor wins, the torched matcha usually takes it. It is the perfect small, sweet break mid-graze, and it travels well if you want to keep moving.
From sesame to matcha, Mochi Time hits the spot.
But now… the real question is… where do we go next?
