One of my most popular videos to date was my Mocha Mochi Video. So much so, I thought to myself, “self, what can we do to make it even better?” I assure you it only took a few seconds for me to internally scream “ice cream!!!!” I feel like it’s a party whenever ice cream is involved. It also makes me think of younger years when cake and ice cream were served where balloons and friends met. Happy times. One of the more difficult things to grasp as I got older, I found was that innocence lost. Somehow, gathering people in one room to jump on a trampoline and play pin the tail on a donkey sans alcohol just doesn’t seem as fun. Not always true but fair to say and it kind of makes me sad that gone are those days. So let’s recreate some light and happy fun with green tea + mochi + ice cream (hold onto your hats guys, it sounds like it could get pretty crazy, haha).
- 2 ts matcha (green tea powder)
- 1 c SWEET rice four
- 4 tb sugar
- ½ ts salt
- 1 c water
- Wheat starch for work surface
- 2 c cold heavy cream
- 1 c powdered sugar
- 5 ts matcha
- In your first bowl, beat your cream into soft peaks. Sprinkle in your powdered sugar and matcha. Freeze until firm.
- In your second bowl, sift together your matcha, sweet rice flour, sugar, and salt. Slowly whisk in your cold water.
- Cover with plastic and steam for about 3 minutes. Using a spoon/spatula, beat and stretch this dough until it becomes elastic.
- Dust your work surface and begin “rolling” our your dough. Cut into squares and set aside.
- Work quickly and fill each square with your firm ice cream. Pinch to seal and keep in your freezer.
Custard based Green Tea Ice Cream:
2 c heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1/4 ts salt
1/2 c sugar
1 tb Matcha
Bring cream to boil and remove from heat.
Whisk together yolks, salt, sugar, and matcha and slowly temper (add in a bit of cream to your yolk mixture. Make sure to do this slowly in a very slow stream, whisking well).
Put everything back on the heat until it reaches 170.
Strain through a fine sieve and allow to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Freeze in an ice cream maker.
Sweet and chewy,
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~
Is there any major difference in terms of taste when we chill the whole thing after completing it?
Want to try this!
Hi Angie!!
found you in YouTube & Facebook & I’m totally hook on you. Don’t ever stop blogging & sharing all those delicious recipes!
I’m your newest follower
Question: can I freeze this green tea mochi? How long is it good for, days or weeks?
I’m planning to make your recipe thus weekend. I went to HMart & got all the ingredients.
Thank you <3
ahhh, this makes me very, very happy, Ann! With amazing new friends like you, I couldn’t ever stop =) I kept mine frozen and ate off of them for 3 days but I’m not quite sure how much longer they would last since they don’t have any preservatives. XO!
Perfect!! I just needed to know this part… Thank you so much Squishy
Thank YOU, Ann =)
I finally made it… I made 2 of your recipes, Green tea ice cream mochi & mocha/ Nutella mochi. I would love to share with you my pics.. Where can I email them to you? xxo
Squishy@TheSquishyMonster.com can’t wait to see them, Ann =)
These look amazing Angie. I love Japanese desserts, sticky and sweet but not too bad. I remember having sweet potato ice cream once in HK. It was sensational.
Dave
Oooh sounds delish, Dave! Cheers!!
Yum! I love green tea anything and these look delicious. I used to buy green tea ice cream mochi from Trader Joe’s, but a homemade version looks so much better
I LOVE a nice green tea latte…I think I shall have one tomorrow morning =)

Yes! It’s always better with ice cream!
Ice cream party, anyone?
I find that I sort of teeter on the precipice between liking and not liking mochi most of the time. I think it’s interesting and I can enjoy one or two every once in awhile, but any more than that and I get tired of it very fast.
After spending some time thinking about it I think I’ve figured out that the main problem I have is the texture, or lack thereof. So, if I were to make mochi at home, would it be feasible to maybe mix some nuts or something of the sort into the filling to give it a crunch?
I’ve never tried a mix in within the dough but it would be delicious to incorporate a nutty filling inside. I can appreciate the texture thing. One of the reasons I enjoy it is due to its chewy gumminess.
I do enjoy a good quality green tea ice cream from time to time. Love your presentation.
Thank you, Eva!
YUM! This looks delicious, I want some now! <3
Thanks, Gemma!
