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



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!

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!
