Ingredients
1-2brickskirimochi
1scoopgreen tea ice cream
1tablespoonanko (red bean paste)either tsubu-an or koshi-an is fine
kinako (roasted soy bean powder)to dust on top
Instructions
In a heated and buttered/oiled waffle maker, place 1 to 2 pieces of kirimochi (use 1 if it's a small/mini waffle maker or 2 if it's a larger one).
You will notice the waffle maker will not close completely since the kirimochi is hard. That is fine! Cook it like this for about 2 minutes and this will allow the mochi to soften up from the heat.
After 2 minutes, carefully press the waffle iron closed completely and cook for another 3 minutes (or until your waffle is done depending on your waffle iron).
Remove your waffle and put it on a plate. Top with a scoop of green tea ice cream, a spoonful of anko, and a sprinkle of kinako and enjoy immediately!
