Have you ever been curious on what people eat for desert in Japan? Well when ever its a special occasion they eat the famous mochi ice cream. Mochi ice cream is the next big thing. Why have boring ice cream when you can have when you can have an ice cream that is cool on the outside and creamy on the inside. Talking about this is making me hungry so lets show you the things you will need:
Ingredients: 
  1. ice cream flavor of your choice
  1. 100 grams (4-5) of gluntinous rice flour 
  1.  180 mL (6.08 oz or 3/4 cups) of water
  1. 50 grams (1/4 cups) of sugar
  1. Cornstarch
Directions:
  1. Let the ice cream sit in room temperature for a few minutes or until it becomes soft. Scoop and roll the ice cream into ten round balls. You can also use a round cupcake or ice cube tray. Put the ice cream balls back in the freezer to re-harden.

2. Mix the water and flour together well in a bowl. You'll want to achieve a paste. Dump  the sugar in and mix it until the sugar has dissolved

3. Cover the batter with plastic wrap (for example Saran Wrap). Place and heat in the microwave for two minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and stir the batter


4. Place the plastic wrap on it again and put it back in the microwave for another 30seconds. Take it out and stir the batter


5. Cover a chopping or cutting board with plastic wrap.


6. Then spread and cover the board in cornstarch . Make sure that it's a good amount and not an amount that the mochi batter will stick to the plastic wrap or board.


7.Put the batter onto the board and flatten when it has cooled down slightly.8. Sprinkle more cornstarch on top of the mochi batter.


9. Cut and divide the batter into 10 pieces.


10. Pick up one piece of dough. Flatten it with your palm and wrap it around a ball of ice cream. Repeat this process for the other pieces of mochi and ice cream.


11. Place it in the freezer to re-harden the ice cream. Serve when ready
I hope you guys the recipe, and I hope you guys try it out
