Ingredients for Mochi Ice Cream

  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour (Mochiko flour)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup cornstarch (for dusting)
  • 1 pint of ice cream (any flavor: matcha, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mango, etc.)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Ice Cream

  1. Scoop ice cream into small balls using a scoop.
  2. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Freeze for 1–2 hours until firm.

2. Make the Mochi Dough

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix mochiko flour, sugar, and water until smooth.
  2. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Stir.
  3. Microwave again for 1–2 minutes until the dough becomes sticky and translucent.

3. Shape the Mochi

  1. Dust a clean surface with cornstarch.
  2. Transfer hot mochi dough and roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness.
  3. Cut circles using a cookie cutter or glass.

4. Wrap the Ice Cream

  1. Place a frozen ice cream scoop in the center of each mochi circle.
  2. Pinch edges to seal.
  3. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Mochi Ice Cream

  • Work quickly since mochi dough gets sticky fast.
  • Keep your hands and tools dusted with cornstarch.
  • Freeze ice cream balls well before wrapping to avoid melting.
  • Try different fillings like red bean paste or fruit puree.

Serving Suggestions

  • Enjoy straight from the freezer as a refreshing snack.
  • Serve with green tea, matcha latte, or fruit salad.
  • Make assorted flavors for parties and gatherings.

Storage

  • Store mochi ice cream individually wrapped in plastic in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Allow to sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before eating for the best texture.
