Mochi Dough Preparation

- 2
Microwave the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid and microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Repeat the microwaving for another minute, then stir again. Microwave for a final minute or until the dough is translucent and sticky.
- 3
Cool the Dough
Allow the mochi dough to cool for a few minutes until it is manageable but still warm.
- 4
Dust with Cornstarch
On a clean surface, sprinkle cornstarch to prevent sticking. Turn the mochi dough out onto the surface and dust the top with more cornstarch.

Roll Out the Dough
Using a rolling pin, roll the mochi dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Assembling the Mochi Ice Cream

Scoop the Ice Cream
Scoop a small ball of ice cream (about 1-2 tablespoons) and place it in the center of each mochi circle.

Wrap the Ice Cream
Gently stretch the edges of the mochi circle over the ice cream and pinch to seal. Make sure there are no gaps.

Freeze the Mochi Ice Cream
