Ingredients
- 1 batch kanten jelly (see how to make kanten jelly)
- 1 batch Homemade Shiratama Dango (Mochi Balls) (use my recipe to make it at home)
- 6 Tbsp sweet red bean paste (anko) (you can make it homemade on the stovetop or in a pressure cooker)
- 6 coops green tea ice cream (or vanilla ice cream; try my Matcha Ice Cream recipe)
- strawberries
- banana
- kiwis
- kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) (see how to make homemade kuromitsu)
- boiled red endomame peas (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Please note that we can prepare everything but Shiratama Dango ahead of time. You can purchase sweet red bean paste, green tea ice cream, and kuromitsu at a Japanese grocery store, or find the recipe link in the ingredient section above to make it homemade.
- Make 1 batch kanten jelly; see my recipe for homemade kanten jelly.
- Make 1 batch Homemade Shiratama Dango (Mochi Balls) just prior to assembling this dessert. See my recipe for how to make shiratama dango.
- Cut the strawberries, banana, and kiwis into bite-sized pieces. Into the individual serving bowls, evenly divide the kanten jelly, fruit pieces, the shiratama dango, 6 Tbsp sweet red bean paste (anko), and 6 scoops green tea ice cream. Top with optional boiled red endomame peas and serve with kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) on the side.
Notes
- Prep and cook time: This is for preparing kanten jelly and shiratama dango and for assembling anmitsu only (assuming that the rest is either purchased or prepared ahead of time).
