Ingredients

Mochi Dough

Ice Cream Filling

Preparation

Preparing the Mochi Dough

1. Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour and granulated sugar. Gradually add water and stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

2. Cook the Mixture

Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 1 minute. Repeat this process until the dough becomes thick and sticky, about 3 to 4 minutes total.

3. Cool the Dough

Once cooked, allow the mochi dough to cool for about 10 minutes, but ensure it is still warm and pliable.

4. Dust with Cornstarch

On a clean surface, generously dust cornstarch to prevent sticking. Turn the mochi dough out onto the cornstarch-covered surface.

5. Shape the Mochi

Divide the mochi dough into equal pieces (about 1.5 inches in diameter). Flatten each piece into a circle that is about 3 inches wide.

Assembling Mochi Ice Cream

6. Prepare Ice Cream

Scoop out small balls of ice cream (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the ice cream balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.

7. Wrap the Ice Cream

Take a flattened piece of mochi dough and place a frozen ice cream ball in the center. Gently fold the edges of the mochi over the ice cream and pinch to seal. Ensure the ice cream is completely covered.

8. Repeat the Process

Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining pieces of mochi dough and ice cream balls.

9. Final Freeze

Place the wrapped mochi ice cream back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for another 1-2 hours to firm up.
