🥄 Texture
Creamy and velvety liquid body from whole milk and whipped cream, with soft, pillowy mochi cubes that yield a tender chew. The Haribo gummy pearls add a contrasting firmer, gelatinous chew and occasional chewy bursts amidst the smooth hot chocolate-matcha base.
👃 Aroma
A pronounced blend of cacao and sweet vanilla up front, layered with grassy, vegetal matcha notes and warm dairy richness. Light sugary fruitiness from the gummy pearls can be detected when close, but the dominant scents are chocolate, green tea, and cream.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Unsweetened iced sencha or a cold sparkling water with a wedge of lemon to cut the richness and refresh the palate.
🥗 Side Dishes
Light savory bites such as sesame crackers or onigiri (plain or lightly salted), a small cucumber and seaweed salad, or a citrus sorbet to contrast the sweetness and cleanse the palate.

Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps. Add 1/4 cup hot water and whisk vigorously with a matcha whisk or small fork until smooth and frothy. Set aside.

Pour 2 cups of milk into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until steam rises (do not boil), approximately 3-4 minutes.
- 3
Add the hot chocolate powder and sugar to the heated milk, whisking constantly until fully dissolved and combined, about 2 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and gently stir in the matcha mixture, whisking slowly to create a smooth, evenly colored beverage. Add vanilla extract and stir.
- 5
Cut fresh mochi into small 1-inch cubes and add them to the hot chocolate-matcha mixture. Stir gently and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the mochi begins to soften and float.
- 6
In a separate small bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
- 7
Pour the hot matcha hot chocolate into serving cups, dividing the softened mochi evenly among them.

Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream.

Scatter approximately 1/3 cup of Haribo gummy bears over the whipped cream, allowing some to sink into the beverage.
