This dessert is also known as Snowy Mochi or Snow Cream Mochi, and it's a hit for summer treats, party desserts, or just a sweet craving.
Ingredients
| For the mochi (outer layer) | For the whipped cream filling |
| 1 cup sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour, like Mochiko) | 1 cup heavy cream (at least 36% fat) |
| 3/4 cup water | 2 tbsp powdered sugar |
| 1/4 cup sugar | Optional: vanilla extract (1 tsp) |
| Cornstarch or potato starch (for dusting) | Optional: diced fresh fruit (strawberries, mango, etc.) |
Instructions
Prepare the whipped cream (using cream charger):
- Pour the heavy cream into your whipped cream dispenser.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Close the lid, use the pressure regulator to divide the gas from the nitrous oxide tank into the cream dispenser, and shake vigorously 30 times.
- Dispense into a bowl and chill in the fridge while making the mochi.
Pro tip: Keep the dispenser cold for the fluffiest result.
Make the mochi dough:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, mix rice flour, water, and sugar until smooth.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Stir, then microwave for another 1 minute. The dough should be thick, sticky, and slightly translucent.
- Let it cool for 5–10 minutes.
Assemble the mochi cream:
- Dust your work surface with cornstarch.
- Turn the mochi dough out and cut into 6–8 equal portions.
- Flatten each piece into a circle (about 3 inches wide).
- Pipe a dollop of whipped cream into the center (you can also add fruit).
- Fold the mochi over the filling and pinch to seal.
- Place seam-side down in a cupcake liner or chill tray.
❄️ Storage Tips
Store mochi cream in the fridge for up to 2 days.
For best texture, enjoy them slightly chilled — not frozen.
Bonus Tips
Add matcha powder to the mochi for a green tea flavor.
Use strawberry whipped cream (just blend strawberries into the cream before charging).
Swap cream for non-dairy alternatives like coconut cream
Making creamy mochi with a cream charger is not only fun — it’s faster and easier than traditional methods. Whether you're hosting a party, baking with kids, or just trying something new, this mochi cream dessert is the perfect bite-sized indulgence.
