Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream

We are not going to self-proclaim this the dessert of the summer... but it's the dessert of the summer.

Ingredients

¾ cup sweet rice flour 

½ cup corn starch 

¼ cup cane sugar 

¾ cup milk 

4 tbsp strawberry milk syrup 

3 tbsp Drizzle

3½ cups strawberry ice cream

Whipped Cream

Chopped Strawberries

Instructions

Active Time: 30 Minutes

Full Time: 1.5 Hours

Serves 6
1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweet rice flour, cornstarch, and sugar until well combined. Gradually stir in the milk and strawberry syrup until a smooth batter forms. Make sure there are no clumps remaining. 

2

Using a double boiler or steamer, bring water to a boil. Place the bowl with the mochi dough mixture in the center of the steamer. Cover and steam for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the cover and give the mixture a good stir with a heat-safe spoon or spatula. 

3

Cover again and steam for another 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the steamer and let the mochi dough cool slightly. Stir in the 3 tablespoons of Drizzle to the mochi dough for smoothness and flavor. 

4

Dust a clean working surface with cornstarch. Transfer the mochi dough onto the surface and dust the top with more cornstarch to prevent sticking. Using a rolling pin, roll out the mochi dough to about ⅛ inch thickness. 

5

Use a cup or a cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. You should get about 6 circles. 

6

To assemble the mochi ice cream, place a mochi circle in a small bowl. Scoop a workable amount of ice cream and place it in the center of the mochi circle. Gently wrap the mochi dough around the ice cream, until it's completely covered. 

7

Transfer completed mochi ice cream to the freezer on a baking sheet dusted with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Repeat the process with the remaining mochi circles and ice cream.

For serving: garnish with whipped cream, chopped strawberries, and of course more Drizzle
