Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    In a microwave-safe bowl, mix sweet rice flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until smooth. If making chocolate mochi, add cocoa powder.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for another minute.

  4. 4

    Microwave for a final minute, stirring in between, until the mixture is thick and sticky.

  5. 5

    Dust a surface with cornstarch, then pour the mochi mixture onto it. Let it cool slightly.

  6. 6

    Once cool, divide the mochi into small pieces, flatten each piece, and wrap around a scoop of ice cream.

  7. 7

    Roll the mochi ball in cornstarch to prevent sticking, then freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
