GREEN TEA MOCHI ICE CREAM



Green Tea Mochi Ice Cream image

I've had mochi many times in restaurants and have always been fascinated by its unique combination of taste and texture; but I had absolutely no clue how it was done. I basically still don't, but regardless, this was my first attempt and I look forward to lots of criticism.

Time 4h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 small scoops vanilla ice cream
½ cup sweet rice flour
½ cup cold water
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon green tea powder (matcha)
1 tablespoon cornstarch, or as needed

Steps:

  • Remove and discard the top half of a cardboard egg carton. Line 10 of the cups in the bottom half of the egg carton with plastic wrap.
  • Scoop ice cream into 10 prepared egg carton cups. Cover scoops with plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Stir rice flour, water, and salt together in a microwave-safe bowl; add sugar and stir until completely smooth. Whisk green tea powder into rice flour mixture.
  • Cover the rice flour mixture bowl with plastic wrap; microwave for 2 minutes. Stir rice flour mixture, re-cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and microwave until mochi dough is thick and sticky, about 1 1/2 minutes more.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with cornstarch. Turn mochi dough out on prepared work surface. Roll dough into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle; cut dough into 10 equal squares.
  • Remove ice cream balls from plastic wrap. Place 1 ice cream ball in the center of 1 mochi dough square. Gather mochi dough together to cover the ice cream ball completely, pinch the edges together at the base, and cut off any excess dough. Repeat with remaining ice cream and dough squares.
  • Tightly cover each mochi ball in plastic wrap and place in egg carton, seam-side down. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

Giant Mochi Ice Cream Recipe by Tasty image

This colossal combination of chewy Japanese mochi and creamy ice cream provides a double dose of matcha goodness. The mochi outside is made with glutinous rice flour and matcha powder, while the homemade ice cream center is also flavored with - you guessed it - even more matcha. Green tea lovers, rejoice!

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 oz glutinous rice flour, shiratamako
4 oz sugar
1 teaspoon matcha, fine green tea powder
1 cup water
potato starch, or cornstarch as needed
14 oz condensed milk
2 ½ cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon matcha, fine green tea powder

Steps:

  • Make mochi. Combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, matcha, and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk until smooth. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes.
  • Mix well with using a wooden spatula.
  • Line a 10-inch (25 cm) bowl with plastic, set it aside, and sprinkle your tabletop with enough potato starch to avoid sticking.
  • Mix the mochi mixture and place on top of the starch.
  • Roll out the mochi larger than the bowl, about 15 inches (38 cm) across.
  • Lay mochi over the plastic-lined bowl.
  • Make the matcha ice cream. In a large bowl, add heavy cream, condensed milk, and matcha. Using a hand mixer, whip until thickened to soft peaks.
  • Add the ice cream mixture into the mochi-lined bowl. Take the excess mochi and lay it over the middle, encasing the ice cream. Cover with plastic.
  • Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Bring the mochi ice cream to room temperature for 15-30 minutes before serving so mochi has time to soften.
  • Garnish with extra matcha on top, if you please.
  • Enjoy!

GREEN TEA MOCHI



Green Tea Mochi image

A tasteful, and easy-to-make spin-off of the "Apricot Mochi" recipe posted by Seb on this site. The presentation of the mochi itself is not very appealing, but it can be dressed up by wrapping pieces in a leaf (as described in the last step), or you can maybe dust potato starch around it. The edges can also be cut since they will be a harder crust.

Categories     Gelatin

Time 1h50m

Yield 32 pieces, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb mochiko sweet rice flour
4 (7 g) envelopes knox gelatin
2 tablespoons green tea powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 (11 1/4 ounce) can milk green tea
12 ounces water
1/2 cup red bean paste (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine mochiko, sugar, gelatin, and maccha in a large bowl and mix.
  • Add Milk Green Tea and water, and mix througly with whisk or spoon. (Note: If a can of Milk Green Tea cannot be found, substitute 6oz of "Tazo Matcha with Honeydew Liquid Tea" and 6oz of milk).
  • Pour into a 9x13" greased pan.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350F for 55 minutes.
  • Cool with cover on for 15 minutes.
  • Remove Foil and cool for several hours before cutting.
  • Cut out outer hardened portion of the mochi, and then cut into 32 squares.
  • Optional step: Place 1/2 teaspoon of red bean paste in the middle of each square, fold square into triangle and press on the sides.
  • Optional step: To improve presentation and add a bit of taste, soak 32 Oak or Sakura leaves in water, drain, and wrap around mochi pieces (dull side facing outside).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality matcha powder. This will ensure that your ice cream has a rich, authentic green tea flavor.
  • Make sure the mochi is soft and chewy. If the mochi is too hard, it will be difficult to chew and will not blend well with the ice cream.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze evenly and prevent it from becoming icy.
  • Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
  • Fold in the mochi pieces just before the ice cream is finished churning. This will prevent the mochi from becoming too hard.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the ice cream to firm up.

Conclusion:

Green tea mochi ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its unique flavor and texture, green tea mochi ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
