A super easy 2-ingredient mochi ice cream recipe that you have to try! Soft and chewy mochi dough wrapped around your choice of ice cream.
Ice Cream Scoops
Make 4 scoops of ice cream and cut it into half so you get a flat base and freeze it for a few hours. Recommended step for easy handling later: wrap up each scoop with saran wrap and shape the ice cream into a half circle with a flat base then freezing it.
Mochi
Add melted ice cream, glutinous rice flour, oil and a few drops of food coloring into a bowl. Mix until well combined.
Cover the bowl and microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Mix the mixture until it's cool enough to touch then transfer to a flat surface. Use cornstarch to avoid stickiness.
Roll out the mochi mixture with a rolling pin until smooth and flat. Divide into 4 equal parts.
When you're ready, take the ice cream scoop and place at the center of one of the 4 mochi mixture. Wrap the ice cream, stretch out the mochi if needed and bring all the sides together to seal. Twist and remove any extra layer and pinch to seal (see notes).
Freeze the mochi ice cream for at least an hour. Remove from freezer a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
