Step-by-Step Instructions for strawberry ice cream mochi
  1. Begin by scooping your strawberry ice cream into small balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place the scoops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they aren't touching. Freeze these ice cream balls for at least 2 hours or until they are very firm.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sweet rice flour with water, stirring until smooth. Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir; continue microwaving in 30-second increments until the dough thickens and turns glossy, around 2-3 minutes total.
  3. Prepare your workspace by generously dusting it with cornstarch or potato starch. Turn the mochi dough onto the floured surface and flatten it slightly with your hands. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  4. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled mochi dough into squares approximately 3-4 inches wide. Place a frozen ice cream ball in the center of a square, fold the corners over the ice cream, and pinch to seal.
  5. Once all your mochi are wrapped, return them to the freezer and let them freeze completely for at least 3 hours.
