Mochi Ice Cream Chewy Japanese Mochi Ice Cream Bites Ingredients: 1 cup glutinous rice flour (Mochiko) 1/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup water Cornstarch (for dusting) 1 pint ice cream (any flavor), scooped into small balls and frozen solid Directions: Scoop your ice cream into small balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water until smooth. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave in 30-second intervals (about 2-3 more times), stirring between each, until the mochi dough becomes thick and slightly translucent. Dust a clean surface generously with cornstarch and transfer the hot mochi dough onto it. Sprinkle more cornstarch on top and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a round cutter (about 3.5 inches), cut circles from the dough. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Working quickly, wrap each frozen ice cream ball with a mochi round, pinching the edges to seal. Return to the freezer for 2 hours before serving.
