Mochi Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Mochi Ice Cream Directions

1

Prepare Mochi Dough

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sweet rice flour and sugar. Gradually add water and stir until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

2

Cook the Mochi

Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for another minute. Stir again and microwave for a final 30 seconds until the dough is thick and translucent.

3

Dust and Shape

Dust a clean surface with cornstarch. Transfer the mochi dough onto the surface and let it cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, dust your hands with cornstarch, and divide the dough into small pieces.

4

Fill with Ice Cream

Flatten each piece of mochi dough into a circle and place a small scoop of ice cream in the center. Carefully fold the edges over the ice cream and pinch to seal. Roll gently in your hands to shape.

5

Freeze

Place the filled mochi ice cream balls on a plate lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
