Method
Prepare Mochi Dough
- 1
- 2
Cook the Dough
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir the mixture, cover again, and microwave for another minute. Repeat this process for a total of 3 minutes until the dough is slightly translucent.
- 3
Cool the Dough
Allow the mochi dough to cool for about 5-10 minutes, until it's safe to handle.
- 4
Dust and Roll
Lightly dust a clean surface with cornstarch. Transfer the mochi dough onto the surface and dust the top with more cornstarch. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thickness.

Cut into Wrappers
Cut the rolled dough into squares (about 3x3 inches) using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Make sure to dust with more cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Assemble Mochi Ice Cream

Scoop Ice Cream
Scoop the green tea and chocolate ice cream into balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Wrap Ice Cream
Take one mochi square, and place a ball of ice cream in the center. Fold the edges of the mochi over the ice cream and pinch to seal. Dust with cornstarch if needed.

Repeat
Continue wrapping the remaining ice cream balls with the mochi squares until all are wrapped.

Freeze
Place the wrapped mochi ice cream back on the baking tray and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
