Inspired by this Youtube video, I was elated to see two of my favourite things together. Mochi AND the beautiful coffee/cocoa flavours of tiramisu. I decided to make my own version of the tiramisu mochi using ingredients I already had, and added some sweet alcohol to spice things up!
I love that tiramisu doesn’t have to be restricted to a traditional form using ladyfingers. I’ve enjoyed it in cake form as well as different variants like matcha tiramisu (matchamisu).
These delightful tiramisu mochi balls don’t take long to make and are guaranteed to be a huge crowd pleaser. My favourite way to eat it is at room temperature when the filling is softened. It tastes great frozen too and reminds me of ice cream mochi balls.
Give this recipe a go! Itās super fun to roll your own mochi. Make sure you tag your creation with @ultimateomnoms on Instagram so I can give you a shoutout!
