These black sesame mochi ice cream is a perfect summer treat that only requires 4 ingredients and 10 minutes to make! Vegan, gluten-free and made in the microwave, this easy Asian dessert recipe is chewy and nutty on the outside, and sweet, cold and creamy on the inside! If you want, you can fill the mochi with frozen yogurt or vegan ice cream instead to make it more healthier.

See my step-by-step guide to making these deliciously black sesame mochi ice cream below:

Ingredients Used to Make Microwave 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 🙂

Black Sesame - ground up into flour in a small blender or food processor

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!!!

Almond milk - you can use other milk of choice, or just water

Cornstarch - for dusting the mochi

What to use for mochi filling

  • Ice cream of choice - dairy or dairy free. You can also fill it with gelato or frozen yogurt.

OR,

  • Sweetened Red Bean Paste (a.k.a. Koshi An): Red bean paste (also called Koshi An) is a thick and smooth sweet paste made from cooked adzuki red beans that’s been pureed and then cooked down with sugar. The sweetened red bean paste has a sweet almost syrupy flavor with mild earthy notes. It has a creamy and hearty texture that pairs perfectly with East Asian dessert recipes, especially those made with rice flour. You can find Sweetened Red Bean paste in most Asian grocery stores, and online (Amazon).

or,

  • Sweetened White Bean Paste (a.k.a. Shiro An) - the white bean version of the sweetened red bean paste. The white bean paste has milder, and creamier flavor. You can also make your own at home! Here's my Shortcut White Bean Paste Recipe I make when I don't have Shiro An at home.
