Mochi Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream

    Scoop the ice cream into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until solid.

  2. 2

    Make the Mochi Dough

    In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sweet rice flour, sugar, and water until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mochi Dough

    Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir well. Microwave for another minute, stir again, and then microwave for a final minute. The dough should be thick and slightly translucent.

  4. 4

    Dust the Surface

    Dust a clean surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Transfer the mochi dough onto the dusted surface.

  5. 5

    Shape the Mochi

    Using a rolling pin, roll out the mochi dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles of dough.

  6. 6

    Wrap the Ice Cream

    Take a mochi circle, place a frozen ice cream ball in the center, and carefully fold the edges over the ice cream to seal it. Pinch the edges together to ensure it's well sealed.

  7. 7

    Freeze Again

    Place the wrapped mochi ice cream back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
