Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup strawberry ice cream Let soften slightly for easy scooping.
  • 1 cup mochiko (sweet rice flour) Essential for the mochi dough.
  • 1/2 cup water For mixing with mochiko.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Take your strawberry ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mochiko and water. Stir until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the mochiko mixture into a heatproof dish or bowl that fits your steamer. Steam the mixture for approximately 15 minutes until it becomes a translucent, sticky dough.
  2. Once steamed, allow the dough to cool for about 5-10 minutes until it’s easy to handle.
Shaping
  1. Dust your working surface with a light sprinkle of mochiko or cornstarch to prevent sticking. Scoop out small portions of the dough and flatten them into circles.
  2. Use an ice cream scoop to take a small ball of the softened strawberry ice cream and place it in the center of each dough circle. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the ice cream and pinch to seal.
Chilling
  1. Once all the mochi are formed, place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

You can experiment with other ice cream flavors like mango or green tea. For storage, keep the mochi in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Allow to sit out for a few minutes or microwave briefly before serving.
