Mochi Ingredients

Other Ingredients

  • ¼ cup corn, potato or tapioca starch
  • 6 scoops ice cream of choice

Instructions
 

Prepare the filling (optional)

  • Prepare mochi filling by placing a scoop of ice cream into a piece of plastic clear wrap.
  • Wrap the ice cream scoop with the plastic wrap
  • Freeze the pre-scooped ice cream until ready to use

Make the Mochi

  • In a microwave-safe bowl (preferably glass, like pyrex), mix the sweet rice flour with the unsweetened applesauce. Add matcha powder
  • Microwave the combined dough in the microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Use a SOLID METAL spoon (wooden spoons might break!) to stir the cooked mochi so that the cooked and uncooked parts are evenly mixed
  • Return to microwave and heat for additional 1 minute. You’ll know when it is ready when the dough is slightly translucent
  • Scrape the cooked mochi onto the baking pan sprinkled with starch, and allow to cool to room temperature
  • Cut the mochi into 6 pieces using scissors
  • Wrap the mochi dough around the prepared ice cream filling
  • For best results, 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.
  • To enjoy later, keep the green tea mochi ice cream frozen, and defrost for about 5-10 minutes in room temperature before eating.
