Matcha Strawberry Mochi Cloud
Creamy matcha, juicy strawberries and chewy mochi — no oven and ridiculously easy.
Ingredients
- 250g fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 150g mascarpone
- 200ml cold heavy cream
- 2 tbsp condensed milk
- 2 tsp matcha powder
- 100g soft mochi, cut into small pieces
- Extra strawberries + matcha for finishing
Preparation
- 1.PREP THE STRAWBERRIES Mix the strawberries with the sugar and lemon juice. Lightly crush them with a fork. Keep them chunky and juicy — don't turn them into jam.
- 2.MAKE THE MATCHA CLOUD CREAM Whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the mascarpone and condensed milk. Sift in the matcha powder and gently mix until smooth, fluffy and evenly green.
- 3.BUILD THE DESSERT In clear serving glasses, layer: STRAWBERRIES ↓ MOCHI ↓ MATCHA CLOUD CREAM Repeat the layers if the glass allows.
- 4.FINISH Top each glass with a fresh strawberry. Finish with a very light dusting of matcha. Serve chilled.
Pro Tip
Keep the strawberries chunky and juicy instead of crushing them into jam. And go easy on the final matcha dusting — too much matcha on top can make the dessert bitter.
