Ingredients
Scale
1 cup sweet rice flour (mochi flour)
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup cornstarch (for dusting)
1 pint of your favorite ice cream
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix sweet rice flour and sugar.
Add water and stir until smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute.
Stir the mixture, cover again, and microwave for another minute.
Repeat the stirring and microwaving process for a total of 3 minutes.
Dust a clean surface with cornstarch and pour the mochi mixture onto it.
Let it cool slightly, then knead the mochi until smooth.
Roll out the mochi to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into circles.
Place a small scoop of ice cream in the center of each circle and fold the mochi over the ice cream, pinching to seal.
Wrap each mochi ice cream in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Experiment with different ice cream flavors for variety.
Make sure to dust your hands and the mochi with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to a week.
