Ingredients
  

Matcha Filling:

  • 8 g matcha powder
  • 150 g whipping cream
  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 30 g sugar

Mochi Dough:

  • 90 g glutinous rice flour
  • 20 g corn starch
  • 20 g sugar
  • 160 g milk
  • 15 g butter

Instructions
 

Prepare the Matcha Filling:

  • In a bowl, whisk 8g of matcha powder into 150g of whipping cream in batches until well combined.
  • In another bowl, combine 200g of cream cheese with 30g of sugar. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  • Add the matcha cream mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix well until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the matcha cream-cheese mixture into molds and freeze for about one hour, or until firm.

Make the Mochi Dough:

  • In a separate bowl, combine 90g glutinous rice flour, 20g cornstarch, 20g sugar, and 160g milk. Mix all ingredients until well combined.
  • Sift the mixture twice to ensure a smooth texture.
  • Seal the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few small holes in it to allow steam to escape.
  • Microwave the mixture for 3 minutes until cooked.
  • Add 15g of butter to the cooked mochi mixture. Once the mochi dough has cooled down, stretch it until smooth and elastic.

Assemble the Matcha Mochi:

  • Divide the mochi dough into 6 equal portions.
  • Roll out each portion of mochi dough into a small disc.
  • Place a portion of the frozen matcha filling in the center of each mochi disc.
  • Carefully fold the edges of the mochi dough around the filling to seal it completely.
  • Roll each filled mochi ball between your palms to smooth out any seams.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Sprinkle the assembled matcha mochi with a little matcha powder for garnish.
  • Serve and enjoy the delightful blend of creamy matcha filling and chewy mochi exterior!
