Mochi Ice Cream Sandwiches – A Year-Round Delightful Dessert
Mochi is one of my favorite foods. Having lived a good chunk of my life in Hawaii, I appreciate the Japanese cuisine and mochi is one of the top items we cook at home.
The tradition is that we go for mochi pounding to the Big Island every year. The men of the family do mochi in a traditional way by pounding a huge, huge chunk of dough again and again in a big mortar. The pounding becomes a chant with a dance and very unique movements that every man creates during a ceremonial mochi pounding.
After the dough is done and ready – meaning it is soft enough to work with – the women of the family make different creations, mochi. The variety and colors are endless! But the taste of each mochi is absolutely unforgettable.
Today, I’d love to offer to you a mochi ice-cream sandwiches recipe that you can make at home. Of course it is not like we have in Hawaii, but it has the spirit and tradition expressed in this colorful and very tasty dessert. If you love mochi, you will love these small rounds of ice-cream bites, too!

My mom asked me once (when it was here first time eating an ice cream sandwich)… are there any in the Philippines? I was laughing and told her, “Don’t know. Maybe you can try sending so I can taste it.” Haha
