A LITTLE Moons ice cream truck is giving away free mochi next month as it comes to Bournemouth for one day only. 

The Little Moons Big Summer Tour will be stationed at Commercial Road on Thursday, August 12. 

They will be giving away free samples of their new flavours - fish and chips, candy floss and eton mess - alongside their usual flavours including tropical passionfruit and mango, creamy coconut and honey roasted pistachio. 

The ice cream truck will also be holding a competition to be in with a chance of winning Little Moons merch or a free tub of mochis.

Little Moons are inspired by the ceremonious Japanese dessert 'mochi' which consists of tasty fruits, cake and ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of chewy rice dough.

However, Little Moons are filled with all types of intensely flavoured gelato wrapped in coloured rice dough. 

The popularity of Little Moons has skyrocketed since the start of a viral trend on TikTok that sees users sharing their attempts at searching for the dessert, trying different flavours and reviewing them.

Started by brother and sister duo Howard and Viven Wong, sales of Little Moons have risen by 700 per cent since past December, with retailers working hard to keep them in stock. 

The ice cream filled mochi come in a number of different flavours including chocolate, mango, salted caramel, coconut, green tea, cookie dough, vanilla, pistachio  and passionfruit mango.
