Mochi Ice Cream 🍑🍨

Mochi ice cream is a fun, chewy, and creamy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, sticky rice dough wrapped around a scoop of ice cream, it’s an irresistible treat that combines textures and flavors in the best way!

Ingredients:

For the Mochi Dough:
🍚 Sweet rice flour (mochi flour): 1 cup
🍬 Sugar: ¼ cup
πŸ₯› Water: 1 cup
🍢 Vanilla extract: ½ teaspoon
🧴 Cornstarch: ¼ cup (for dusting)

Method:

🍚 In a medium saucepan, combine the sweet rice flour and sugar. Stir in the water and mix until smooth.
