What it is

Mochi dough is a Japanese confection made from glutinous rice flour, water, and sugar. The rice is pounded into a smooth, elastic paste, which is then shaped into small balls or other forms. It has a chewy, sticky texture.

Why it's used

Mochi dough is primarily used as a wrapper or casing for ice cream and other frozen desserts, providing a sweet, chewy contrast to the cold filling. It can also be filled with sweet pastes or fruits and eaten as a standalone treat. Manufacturers use it for its unique texture and ability to hold its shape.

Health notes

Cane sugar is a common sweetener. The FDA considers sugar to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. While excessive sugar intake is linked to health concerns like weight gain and dental issues, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is not typically associated with adverse effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sugar and set guidelines for its use.

Allergen info

Mochi dough is made from rice, which is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
