Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Matcha powder - 10 grams
• Erythritol - 30 grams
• Coconut milk - 100 milliliters
• Psyllium husk - 5 grams
• Water - 50 milliliters
• Cornstarch (for dusting) - 20 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, matcha powder, erythritol, and psyllium husk.
2. Gradually add coconut milk and water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with a damp cloth.
4. Microwave the dough on high for 2 minutes, then stir and microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes until the dough is firm and slightly sticky.
5. Dust a clean surface with cornstarch and transfer the mochi dough onto it.
6. Let the dough cool for a few minutes, then divide it into equal pieces (about 4 pieces for 2 servings).
7. Shape each piece into a ball or flatten them into discs, depending on your preference.
8. Dust the mochi with more cornstarch to prevent sticking before serving.
