Method
Instructions for Mochi Ice Cream - Green Tea
- 1
Prepare the Ice Cream Balls
Scoop out the vanilla ice cream into small balls using an ice cream scoop. Place the scoops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- 2
Make the Mochi Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet rice flour, granulated sugar, and matcha green tea powder. Gradually add water and mix until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- 3
Cook the Mochi
Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute. Stir again and microwave for a final 30 seconds. The mixture should become sticky and slightly translucent.
- 4
Dust with Cornstarch
On a clean surface, sprinkle cornstarch. Pour the mochi dough onto the cornstarch and dust the top with more cornstarch to prevent sticking. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- 5
Shape the Mochi
Using a rolling pin, roll out the mochi dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a cup that is slightly larger than the ice cream balls.
- 6
Assemble the Mochi Ice Cream
Take a mochi circle, place an ice cream ball in the center, and fold the mochi over the ice cream, pinching the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and ice cream.
- 7
Freeze Again
Place the finished mochi ice cream balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
