Mochi Ice Cream

Mochi Ice Cream is 1 of the most popular ice cream in Asian but not in Malaysia. So this is the first time i heard about it. Some one told me that the ice cream is popular in Japan.

Ingredients that you need to make the Mochi Ice Cream is ice cream flavor of your choice, 100 grams of glutinous-rice flour, 180 ML of water, 50 grams of sugar and cornstarch. So there are 8 steps to make Mochi Ice Cream and there are:

1. Let the ice cream sit in room temperature for a few minutes or until it becomes soften. Scoop and roll the ice cream into 10 round balls. Put the ice cream balls back in the freezer to re-harden.
2. Mix the water and flour together well in a bowl. You'll want to achieve a paste. Dump the sugar in and mix it until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Cover the batter with plastic wrap (for example Saran Wrap). Place and heat in the microwave for two minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and stir the batter.
4. Place the plastic wrap on it again and put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Take it out and stir the batter.
5. Cover a chopping or cutting board with plastic wrap. Then spread and cover the board in cornstarch. Make sure that it's a good amount and not an amount that the mochi batter will stick to the plastic wrap or board.
6. Put the batter onto the board when it's cooled down. Cut and divide the batter into 10 pieces.
7. Pick up one piece of dough. Flatten it with your palm and wrap it around a ball of ice cream. Repeat this process for the other pieces of mochi and ice cream.
8. Place it in the freezer to re-harden the ice cream. Serve when ready.

Also i have some tips for you:

• You can use any ice cream flavor you wish. The most popular flavor in ice cream stores are: green tea, vanilla, strawberry, and red bean.
• The bigger the ice cream balls are, the more dough you have to put around it.
• Be sure not to stretch the dough around the ball to the point where the dough breaks. If this happens, mold a little more dough where the hole is.
