Me, again! Back with the latest and greatest in food trends going viral across the interwebs. In today's update, we have TaoQi Peach Ice Cream. Sounds fancy, yeah? It kind of is. Let's dive in.
Apparently, this fanciful little treat is peach-flavored ice cream dipped in a glorious, slightly crunchy white chocolate shell and formed in the shape of a peach. I've gotta say, even the gradient coloring on the outside makes it look like a perfect little peach on a stick. It's a little bit extra, but I'm so into it. It's like an ultra fancy-pants Good Humor bar. Creamy, dreamy, peach-flavored refreshment. Could it be any more perfect for summer? I think not.
Folks all over the internet are demanding to know where to get this delicious dessert. But because of its viral "it girl" status, it can be difficult to find. I checked out popular Asian grocery delivery service Weee! to see if I could get my hands on a three-pack, but sadly, no dice. Instacart? Nope. The best advice seems to come from folks on Reddit, which also seems to be the most logical: Check your nearest Asian grocery stores. If you're in an area where a 99 Ranch Market is located (I am!), it's rumored that you can find 'em there. Two adventurous TikTokers - Sara and Erin - otherwise known as The Girls, drove from Denver to Chandler, Arizona, in search of creamy, peachy nirvana. Unfortunately, 99 Ranch Market was sold out. While in town, they sought out the goods at three more international markets, but alas, their peach ice cream dreams were dashed.
@thegirls.sara.erin We drove all the way to #phoenixarizona to try to find the #viral #peach #icecream at the @99 Ranch Market, and they were sold out! Tell us where else you've found it! #roadtrip #soclose #asianmarket #soldout ♬ Ice Cream - Andy Ms
It seems that this new peachy delight has people all in a tizzy due to the Hong Qi Propitious Mango ice cream craze that went viral on TikTok earlier this year. Similar to TaoQi's peachy goodness, the mango version is a slightly sweet, mango-flavored ice cream encased in a sunset-colored white chocolate shell. A three-pack of that delicious delight is reported to cost about $11.
Most TikTok reviewers report a three-pack costing about the same as its mango counterpart - it's a little steep for some ice cream refreshment, but with all of the glowing reviews, it might be a nice little treat for yourself and two of your besties. Or, indulge a little extra and save all three for yourself - who am I to judge? I might do the same thing!
