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.

Time 50m

Yield 12 Mochi, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 tablespoons glutinous-rice flour
6 tablespoons rice flour
1 cup water
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup potato starch
2 pints ice cream, any flavor

Steps:

  • Line cupcake liners in a mini muffin pan. With a cookie dough scoop, scoop out ice cream onto the liners. Keep in freezer until solid, about 1 hour.
  • In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, sift glutinous rice flour, rice flour, and sugar together. Add water and whisk mixture until well incorporated.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap leaving a small opening uncovered. Heat the mixture on high in the microwave for 1 1/2 minute.
  • Take it out and stir with a wet silicone spatula. Cover the bowl and heat on high for another 1 minute. Again, stir with a wet spatula and heat mixture for a final 30 seconds or until the mixture is cooked through. It'll be slightly translucent when the flour is cooked.
  • Wrap the mochi dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely cooled.
  • Dust the surface of a parchment paper with potato starch and place the cooled mochi dough on top and dust off with more potato starch. With a rolling pin, roll the mochi dough until it's about 3/8-inch thick.
  • Cut mochi dough with a large round cookie cutter, dust off excess starch. Place each mochi dough on a small piece of plastic wrap and repeat with the remaining cut-out dough.
  • Place a scoop of prepared ice cream onto a mochi dough round, wrap the ice cream and seal the edges. Wrap each with the plastic wrap and place back into the muffin pan and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Giant Mochi Ice Cream Recipe by Tasty image

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!

Tips:

  • Mochi Dough:
    • Glutinous rice flour is essential for the chewy texture of mochi. Make sure to use high-quality flour.
    • The dough should be smooth and elastic, not sticky.
    • If the dough is too sticky, add more glutinous rice flour. If it's too dry, add a little water.
  • Ice Cream Filling:
    • Use high-quality ice cream for the best flavor.
    • If the ice cream is too hard, soften it slightly in the microwave or at room temperature before using.
    • You can use any flavor of ice cream you like, but vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry are classic choices.
  • Assembly:
    • Work quickly when assembling the mochi, as the dough can become dry and difficult to work with.
    • If the dough becomes too dry, dampen your hands with water to prevent it from sticking.
    • Seal the mochi tightly to prevent the ice cream from melting.
  • Freezing and Storage:
    • Freeze the mochi for at least 2 hours before serving.
    • Store the mochi in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
    • Thaw the mochi for a few minutes at room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Ice cream mochi is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a chewy mochi exterior and a creamy ice cream filling, it's a unique and satisfying dessert that everyone will love.
