1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the sweet rice flour and granulated sugar together until well combined.
2
Add Water
Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
3
Prepare for Microwaving
Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe bowl or dish. Cover it with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
4
Cook the Dough
Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat this process two more times for a total of 3 minutes, stirring after each minute until the dough is translucent.
5
Transfer and Cool Dough
Once cooked, dust a clean surface with cornstarch and transfer the mochi dough onto it. Let it cool slightly.

6
Divide Dough
Once the mochi dough is cool enough to handle, divide it into 8 equal portions.
7
Shape the Mochi
Flatten each portion into a round disk, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
8
Add Ice Cream
Scoop a small amount of vanilla ice cream (about 1/4 cup) and place it in the center of each mochi disk.
9
Seal the Mochi
Carefully fold the edges of the mochi dough over the ice cream to seal it completely. Pinch the edges to ensure it's well sealed.
10
Freeze Mochi Ice Cream
Wrap each mochi ice cream ball in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.

11
Combine Ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat.
12
Melt Chocolate
Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
13
Cool Chocolate Sauce
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using.

14
Prepare Strawberries
Wash and slice the fresh strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
15
Plate and Serve
Serve the mochi ice cream balls drizzled with chocolate sauce and topped with fresh strawberries.
