In this class, we'll be making 3 types of mochi desserts: Hawaiian Butter Mochi, Mochi Ice Cream, and Daifuku Mochi (with your choice of filling). To prepare for this class, you'll need to gather the ingredients & equipment listed below. You'll also need to do a few steps before class:

PRE-CLASS STEPS​
  • Scoop ice cream balls into a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer for at least 2 hours. The scoop size should be 2 inches wide (size of a golf ball) and you'll need 7 scoops. The ice cream will melt as we wrap mochi around it so the pre-scooped balls will make this step easier.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F
  • Set out ingredients & equipment
  • Melt 1/2 cup of butter

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 16 oz. boxes Mochiko (sweet rice flour) - can be purchased on Amazon but many local grocery stores also carry it
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup corn starch
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 13.5 oz can coconut milk 
  • 1 pint ice cream (flavor of choice)
  • Filling (choose as many as you'd like): fresh strawberries + Nutella, red bean paste, peanut butter + chocolate chips
  • Optional topping: 1/2 cup shredded coconut (for Hawaiian Butter Mochi)
EQUIPMENT
  • 9 x 13 baking pan
  • Cutting board
  • Large microwaveable bowl
  • Large mixing bowls
  • Whisk or large spoon
  • 4" wide circle cookie cutter, knife, or pizza cutter
  • Rolling pin

ABOUT


Picture
Kaori's Kitchen is a culmination of Kaori and Yuki's love of cooking and their desire to share this love with those who also love food. Growing up as a "hapa" (half-Japanese) woman in the Bay Area, Kaori was surrounded by her mother Yukiko's Japanese home-cooking. After studying and specializing in ramen-from-scratch, Kaori taught classes at The Seasoned Farmhouse and Franklin Park Conservatory, centering around Asian cuisine. Asking her mother Yukiko, also a talented cook, to join her team was a natural move. Yukiko has been well-versed in mochi making for several years, making mochi for local festivals and bazaars in the Bay Area. Now, Kaori and Yukiko work together to offer mochi, ramen, udon and other Japanese cooking classes to the Bay Area and beyond.
