Have you succumbed to the new trend of summer 2021? Mochi! They come in endless variations, for all tastes, and are easy to make. Since we have a sweet tooth, we couldn't resist sharing a delicious recipe for matcha-glazed mochi.

Mochi is a traditional Japanese dessert that means "rice cake". Mochi is a preparation made from glutinous rice, filled, usually with ice cream, but mochi can also be savory, for example filled with red bean paste.

Mochi are very popular in Japan, China, Taiwan and have gained popularity all over the world.

1 cup of glutinous rice flour
1 tsp of matcha
¼ cup of sugar
1 cup of water
cornstarch

4 tablespoons of matcha
1 pinch of vanilla
¼ cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
200 ml of milk (animal or plant-based)
200 ml of liquid cream

In a saucepan, over an off-heat setting, add the milk, cornflour, vanilla powder, matcha, and powdered sugar. Mix everything together.

Once mixed, turn on medium heat and stir until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, add the cream, stir, and leave on medium heat.

Allow to cool and pour into a glass dish. Place in the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours.

Mix the rice flour and sugar, then add the water. Cover with cling film and microwave for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave, mix well, and microwave for another minute.

On a baking sheet, sprinkle with cornflour, then roll out your dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Remove from the refrigerator and cut into circles approximately 10 cm in diameter. Fill with matcha ice cream or another ice cream of your choice.

Place the mochi in the freezer. Take the mochi out 5 minutes before eating so they are soft.

Enjoy your meal!
