Ingredients
Mochi Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato
- 1 cup mochiko flour, sweet rice or glutinous rice flour about 140 g
- ⅓ cup water , room temperature
Other Ingredients
- ¼ cup corn, potato or tapioca starch
- 6 scoops ice cream of choice
Instructions
Prepare the filling (optional)
- Prepare mochi filling by placing a scoop of ice cream into a piece of plastic clear wrap.
- Wrap the ice cream scoop with the plastic wrap
- Freeze the pre-scooped ice cream until ready to use
Make the Mochi
- In a microwave-safe bowl (preferably glass, like pyrex), mix the sweet rice flour with the mashed sweet potato and water.
- Microwave the combined dough in the microwave for 2 minutes.
- Use a SOLID METAL spoon (wooden spoons might break!) to stir the cooked mochi so that the cooked and uncooked parts are evenly mixed
- Return to microwave and heat for additional 90 seconds. The final batter should be glossy and slightly translucent
- Scrape the cooked mochi onto the baking pan sprinkled with starch, and allow to cool to room temperature
- Cut the mochi into 6 pieces using scissors
- Wrap the mochi dough around the prepared ice cream filling
- For best results, wrap the finished mochi in the plastic wrap (from wrapping the scoop of ice cream before) and freeze for about 30-60 minutes before serving.
- To enjoy later, keep the mochi ice cream frozen, and defrost for about 5-10 minutes in room temperature before eating.
