Ingredients
If you are an ice cream lover, you won’t be unfamiliar with the ingredients we will need for this famous Japanese dessert. Ice cream
- 35g condensed milk
- 4g matcha powder
- 100g cream
Mochi texture
- 80g glutinous rice powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 15g sugar
- 90ml water
- 100g roasted cornflour
Instructions
Step 1: Make the ice cream filling
- Mix condensed milk well with the matcha powder. You should see a smooth green cream without too many match lumps.
- Pour cream into the bowl and whisk the mixture lightly into a delicious paste. Don’t make it too spongy!
- Fill the slots in your ice cube tray with this mix and let it fridge.

Step 2: Make the mochi crust
- Mix glutinous rice powder, salt, sugar, and water. Whisk these ingredients slightly until the mixture becomes a smooth cream.
- Sieve the liquid mix into another bowl to get rid of the lumps. We won’t want anything like that in our soft mochi.
- Steam it for 1 – 1.5 hours. When you test the result with a spoon, it should be condensed and squishy at the same time.
- Lay cornflour on a new plate, roll the steamed mass all over, knead, and your mochi dough is ready!
Step 3: Wrap and serve
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough. Keep the thickness of the sheet no more than 2mm.
- Divide the sheet into smaller parts and make sure the size fits your filling cubes.
- Remove the ice cream balls from the tray and wrap each of them in a piece of mochi sheet.
Notes
- Be generous with the corn flour! If you use exactly 100 grams as stated in the ingredient section, not all of it will be absorbed by the squishy mass.
- We can use a scoop to have the perfect round mochi ice cream.
- Aside from using green tea like this easy recipe, you can be as creative as possible with the flavors, especially when you simply love the stringy mochi texture.
- These scrumptious buns will still be good for consumption if you store them in the freezer, up to 1 week.
