Custard Mochi Recipes

MOCHI WITH CUSTARD FILLING

Steps:

• Add the milk to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat to boiling.
• Slowly whisk in the flour, eggs, and sugar.
• Heat on low heat until bubbling and thick, about 5-10 minutes.
• Pour the custard through a mesh sieve to remove any clumps. Let the custard cool.
• Scoop custard into a frosting bag and pipe onto a cookie sheet into 8 dollops. Freeze for one hour.
• Add sweet rice flour, sugar, salt, water, and a few drops of food coloring to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap.
• Microwave for 1 minute, remove plastic, then stir. It will not be smooth after stirring it.
• Replace the plastic wrap and continue microwaving for 1-minute intervals until mochi has a translucent quality and feels gummy. This usually takes 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, enough to handle with your hands.
• Place the mochi on a cutting board generously coated in potato starch. Sprinkle potato starch on top of the mochi. Shape the mochi into a half-inch thick disk.
• Using a knife or bench cutter, divide the mochi into eight pieces.
• Coat your hands with potato starch and roll each piece into a ball, and then flatten it into a disk.
• Place a ball of frozen custard in the center. Use your fingers to pinch the Mochi closed around the custard.

CUSTARD MOCHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix mochiko,salt, and baking powder together.
• Mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
• Alternate adding mochiko mixture and milk to egg mixture in 1-2 batches. Beat until batter is smooth, making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl.
• Pour into a greased 9x13" baking pan. Bake for one hour. There should be an even, light brown crust on top and an inserted toothpick should come out clean.
• Let cool, cut into squares, and serve. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge but should be brought to room temperature before eating.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan, set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar; add the eggs, 1 at a time; beating well after each addition. Add the remaining ingredients until blended well. Pour into prepared pan; top with coconut flakes and bake for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes. Cool completely and then chill until ready to serve; slice into equal squares.

MOCHA CUSTARD

Steps:

• Place milk and cream in a 4-cup measure. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power oven with a carousel for 2 minutes.
• While milk is cooking, whisk together eggs and sugar in a medium bowl. Combine cocoa and coffee in a small bowl.
• Remove milk from oven and pour into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in Irish Cream.
• Stir a scant tablespoon of the custard mixture into the cocoa and coffee to form a smooth paste. Scrape the cocoa mixture back into the custard and whisk until well combined.
• Pour into 1/2-cup ramekins and skim any foam from the top of each. Place cups, evenly spaced, around the carousel. Cook, uncovered, at 50 percent power for 6 minutes. Custard will still be partly liquid.
• Remove from oven. Let stand, covered with a towel, for 15 minutes. Refrigerate until firm and well chilled.

EASY MOCHA CUSTARDS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water, let soften 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring cream to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in sugar and espresso powder until dissolved, about 1 minutes. Whisk in chocolate until melted (be careful not to let it burn), about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Whisk softened gelatin into cream mixture until gelatin has dissolved about 1 minute. Stir in milk and salt. Strain into a large liquid measuring cup (for easy pouring). Divide evenly among six 6-ounce coffee cups or custard cups. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.

BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Make the mochi: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
• Whisk the mochiko, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Prepare the batter in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or whisk: Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and thick. Continue whisking while pouring in the coconut milk, then the butter and vanilla. Continue whisking while gradually adding the mochiko mixture. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth. Pour into the prepared pan, then tap it against the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
• Bake until golden brown and crackly, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. When you press the center, it should bounce back but not indent at all. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper to slide the cooled mochi out of the pan.
• The mochi is delicious plain, but you can add a glaze if you'd like: Mix the confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp until smooth. It should be thick but drippy. If needed, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons pulp. If you'd like to create an ombré or sunset effect, scrape some into another bowl or multiple bowls and tint with food coloring. Spread the glaze evenly over the mochi, in stripes if you'd like, and let stand until set.
• Cut the mochi into squares or bars. Serve immediately, or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with butter or oil.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and milk. In another larger bowl, whisk together the mochiko, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and, with a wooden spoon stir until well combined. Add the melted butter and coconut milk and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and rap the pan on the counter a couple of times to bring any air bubbles up to the surface. Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the mixture, a handful at a time, being careful not to jiggle the pan too much, as you want the coconut to stay on the top. Then sprinkle on a few pinches of flaky salt, if desired.Bake until the mochi is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour. Set the pan on a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing into rectangles using a plastic knife to minimize sticking; I cut four columns and five rows to make twenty 2 1⁄4 by 2 1⁄2-inchpieces. If the knife seems to be sticking, rub it with a little unsalted butter or neutral oil. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Sift mochiko, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips until smooth and creamy.
• Beat coconut milk, evaporated milk, and eggs together in a bowl. Add vanilla extract. Add chocolate-butter mixture and stir until incorporated. Add to the flour mixture slowly, whisking by hand until well incorporated and no lumps remain. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 55 minutes.
• Cool completely before cutting, about 1 hour. Cut with a plastic knife; mochi sticks to metal.
