Ingredients
Scale
- 4 scoops Strawberry Ice Cream
- 150g Strawberry Ice Cream (5.3 oz)
- 100g Glutinous Rice Flour (¾ cup)
- Cornstarch for Dusting (approx. ½ cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Cream: Scoop 4 generous scoops of ice cream onto a parchment-lined plate. Freeze for about 30 minutes.
- Mix the Dough: In a bowl, combine 100g of glutinous rice flour and 150g of strawberry ice cream. Slowly add about 5 tablespoons of water while mixing until batter-like consistency.
- Steam that Dough: Pour the batter into a heatproof dish lined with parchment paper and steam for about 20 minutes.
- Cool and Dust: Let the mochi dough cool for about 10 minutes, then dust the countertop with cornstarch.
- Shape the Mochi: Transfer the mochi dough to the cornstarch-dusted countertop. Knead gently and pinch off portions to form small circles.
- Wrap that Ice Cream: Place a chilled scoop of ice cream in the center of each mochi circle and fold edges over, sealing tightly.
- Final Chill: Freeze filled mochi for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Notes
Dust off any excess cornstarch before serving and feel free to top with fresh strawberries or chocolate sauce.
