6. Can I heat a frozen mochi-donut?
Yes, but we do not recommend it as it will affect the texture and make the mochi-donut very soft.
7. Can I heat a fully unfroozen mochi-donut ?
Yes, but gently.
We do not recommend reheating in the microwave as it can quickly alter the texture of the mochi-donut. However, reheating a mochi-donut in the oven (preferably with a convection setting) will create a unique texture, slightly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.
This texture will disappear after about 40 minutes.
Note: Never reheat a decorated/glazed mochi-donut and always use hand protection to avoid burns
