Vegan mochis: rice cakes from Japan

By: Gian Sibilia

How do you think you pronounce “vegan mochis”? Correct would be: mochis. This is a traditional dessert from Japan that is difficult to compare with German pastries. On the one hand there is a dough made of glutinous rice flour, starch and sugar – this combination provides a unique, sticky and almost gummy consistency. Sounds weird, but it’s absolutely brilliant. Second, there’s an ice cream filling that’s super creamy, cool, and soft. Together they create a great dessert with potential for addiction. In the past, Japanese mochis were made from cooked rice, but the version with mochi flour (glutinous rice flour) is much faster and has long been established.

Popular types of mochi ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, matcha and berries. Basically you decide what flavor it will be with the ice cream for the filling. You can also add some fruit juice, green tea or cocoa to the dough to create beautiful color effects. Last but not least: Colorful toppings provide the finishing touch.

Are vegan mochis healthy?

Vegan mochis are not healthy per se – of course that always depends on what’s in them. In this case, you can really eat the Japanese rice cakes with a clear conscience. Because instead of refined sugar, we use erythritol, which is almost calorie-free. By choosing a vegan ice cream for the mochi filling that is also free of white sugar, you can also help to make the mochis healthy. In the end, however, it is also a dessert – and you can enjoy that to the fullest.

Incidentally, the Japanese dessert has often made the headlines because people are said to have died from it. In fact, cases of choking occurred due to the sticky dough. I don’t know if that’s really true. But of course my vanilla mochi should be a pleasure for you and not a danger. So please chew well! Caution is always advised with small children and elderly people who may have problems with the tough dough and could choke.

How to store vegan mochi

Whether vegan or not: Mochi are super easy to freeze – after all, they also have an ice cream filling. The small rice cakes stay fresh for up to 6 months in the freezer, so you can prepare them well. If visitors drop by spontaneously, you always have a delicious and impressive dessert. Mochis can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks – provided you can stand it. Because the little cakes are really too tasty to keep for a long time. It is best to pack them in a well-closable Tupperware so that no air can get in and the dough stays nice and sticky.
