Looking for a fun cooking project with your children? Try Mochi ice cream!  The popular Japanese dessert is easier to make than you think. Imagine your kids smiling faces when they bite into their favorite ice cream inside the soft mochi shell.

Mochi Ice Cream is a popular dessert served in some Japanese restaurants in the U.S. and can be purchased in US grocery stores including Trader Joe’s and Costco.  Have you had a chance to try?  This delightful dessert with refreshing cool ice cream inside soft mochi shell is one of my family’s favorite, and not that hard to make at home yourself.

What’s the best part of homemade mochi ice cream recipe?  You can put your favorite ice cream inside the mochi!

INGREDIENTS

• ¾ cup Shiratamako (glutinous rice flour/sweet rice flour) (¾ cup = 100 g) (See Notes)
• ¾ cup water (¾ cup = 180 ml)
• ¼ cup sugar (¼ cup = 55 g) (See Notes)
• ½ cup potato starch/corn starch (½ cup = 100 g)
• Ice cream of your choice
• Substitute for shiratamako:
• ¾ cup Mochiko (glutinous rice flour/sweet rice flour) (¾ cup = 115g)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Gather all the ingredients
• Using the cookie scoop, scoop out ice cream into aluminum/silicone cupcake liners. The ice cream will melt quickly so I recommend freezing them immediately for a few hours or until ice cream balls are completely frozen solid.
• Once the ice cream balls are frozen solid and ready, you can start making mochi. Combine shiratamako and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk all together.
• Add water and mix well until combined.
• Microwave Method: If you’re using a microwave to cook mochi, cover the bowl with some plastic wrap (do not cover too tight). Put the bowl in the microwave and heat it on high heat (1200w) for 1 minute. Take it out and stir with wet rubber spatula. Cover again and cook for 1 minute. Stir again, cover, and cook for 30 seconds to finish cooking. The color of mochi should change from white to almost translucent.
