Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup strawberry ice cream Let soften slightly before using.
  • 1 cup sweet rice flour (mochi flour) This is key for the mochi texture.
  • as needed N/A water To achieve the right consistency for the mochi dough.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Scoop out 1 cup of strawberry ice cream into a bowl. Let it soften slightly at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the sweet rice flour with enough water to form a sticky dough, thicker than pancake batter.
  3. Transfer the mochi mixture to a heatproof dish or steamer and steam for about 15-20 minutes until slightly translucent and sticky.
  4. Let the mochi cool for a few minutes, then place on a floured surface and flatten to about half an inch thick.
  5. Cut out circles from the flattened mochi dough using a round cookie cutter or glass. Place a scoop of softened strawberry ice cream in the center of each circle.
  6. Carefully fold the mochi dough around the ice cream and pinch to seal, ensuring there are no gaps.
  7. Freeze filled mochi for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve and enjoy your 3 Ingredient Strawberry Ice Cream Mochi!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the perfect texture.
