Here’s one mochi ice cream recipe that is better and healthier! This mochi recipe uses banana instead of sugar, and is a delicious, healthy treat for kids and adults alike. It’s also dairy free & vegan friendly, since I use a diary free ice cream made from coconut milk

Ingredients Used to Make Banana Chocolate Mochi

**I’ve linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

Banana – any kind, preferably ripe

  • Glutinous Rice Flour – this goes by many names. You’ll see Glutinous Rice Flour and Mochiko Flour (my favorite brand) in Asian grocery stores, and Sweet White Rice Flour in most other stores. ***Please note that regular white rice flour or brown rice flour is NOT the same thing as glutinous rice flour!!!

Cocoa powder

Cornstarch – for dusting the mochi

Ice cream filling – dairy or dairy free, any flavor you like. I used a vegan/ dairy free kind made from coconut milk, below:

How to Make

Banana Chocolate Mochi Ice Cream

STEP 1

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

STEP 2

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

wrap the ice cream scoop with the plastic wrap

STEP 3

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

STEP 4

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

Mash bananas

STEP 5

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

In a microwave-safe bowl (preferably glass, like pyrex), mix the sweet rice flour with the mashed bananas and cocoa powder.

STEP 6

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

Microwave the combined dough in the microwave for 2 minutes. Use a solid metal spoon to stir the cooked mochi mixture. Return to microwave and heat for additional 1 minute. You’ll know when it is ready when the dough is glossy and slightly translucent

STEP 7

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

Drop the hot mochi dough onto a surface floured with corn starch. Flatten, and use kitchen shears/ scissors to cut the mochi into 5 to 6 pieces. ***Handle with care, or use vinyl gloves, as the mochi dough will be HOT***

STEP 8

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

Let the mochi cool to room temperature before wrapping the mochi dough around the prepared ice cream filling

For a thinner mochi wrapping “skin,” use a rolling pin to thin out the mochi dough before wrapping the ice cream.

STEP 9

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

Pinch the end together to close

STEP 10

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi Balls with Vanilla Ice Cream - chocolate mochi

Wrap the finished mochi in the plastic wrap (from wrapping the scoop of ice cream before) and freeze for about 30-60 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

OPTIONAL: I brushed away the corn starch (that we used to keep the mochi from sticking to our hands in the previous step) with a clean wet paper towel so that the color of the mochi comes through.
