Equipment

  • Waffle Maker/Iron

Ingredients

  • 1-2 bricks kirimochi
  • 1 scoop green tea ice cream
  • 1 tablespoon anko (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!
