Isabella's has created over 400 flavours of mochi donuts since launching.
Back in those days, the donuts were produced by hand, which is evident from their slightly unusual shape.The flagship Isabella's Mochi Donut Boutique used to be the brunch restaurant. From there the donuts are topped with flavours and adorned with sugar toppings, like tiny snowmen and snowflakes which are added by hand. Six donuts cost $25 or a single donut goes for $3.50.Besides being the first committed mochi donut shop, Cecilia prides her business on their dough recipe, which does not use any mochi pre-mixes.
Because the recipe does not have any yeast at all, it does not need to be proofed, but the temperature does impact the quality. This means Isabella's team has to be very careful with the batter to ensure it doesn’t get tough or lose moisture.Since the dough is made with sticky rice flour, these donuts come out with a balanced crispy, chewy and pillowy texture.
