Lidl follows Aldi and releases £2.99 dupe of this year's most popular viral food product

Supermarket giant Lidl has released its own version of the most popular viral treat this year.

After going viral on Tik Tok, frozen Little Moons mochi desserts quickly sold out in supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco and Morrisons.

Now Lidl has revealed it's following in the footsteps of Aldi, and is releasing its own version of Little Moons.

But while Aldi's mochi balls come in three different flavours, Lidl is offering four.

A spokesperson for Lidl said: "This summer, Lidl is launching its own selection of the beloved Japanese-inspired sweet treats. Hailing from Japan, mochi ice cream balls have soared in popularity across the globe and now shoppers can get their fix at Lidl stores nationwide.

"Whilst they land in stores on 3 June, Lidl is giving shoppers a sneak preview of the all-new Vitasia Mochi Ice Cream packs , available for just £2.99.

"Perfect for bringing along to summer barbecues or to simply enjoy at home, Lidl has a Vitasia Mochi Ice Cream flavour for everyone - from succulent Mango to smooth Vanilla, indulgent Chocolate to fresh Coconut.

"The ice cream balls wrapped in a glutinous rice dumpling are a uniquely delicious frozen treat, which has fast become a fan favourite worldwide."

Lidl’s new Japanese-inspired dessert offering will be available in stores from 3 rd June, to satisfy shoppers’ summer mochi cravings.
