Cook Time: -
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 6 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup mango puree
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the mango ice cream by softening vanilla ice cream and mixing it with fresh mango puree. Scoop small balls of the mango ice cream mixture and freeze them on a parchment-lined tray for about 2 hours until completely firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave the mochi dough for 1 minute. Remove and stir thoroughly, then microwave again for another 30 seconds.
- Dust a clean surface generously with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Transfer the hot mochi dough onto the surface and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Knead the mochi dough gently until smooth and elastic. Use cornstarch on your hands to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the mochi dough into a thin, even sheet using a rolling pin. Cut into 6 equal circular pieces.
- Remove frozen mango ice cream balls from the freezer. Quickly wrap each ice cream ball with a mochi dough circle, pinching and sealing the edges carefully.
- Dust each mochi ice cream with additional cornstarch to prevent sticking, then immediately return to the freezer.
- Allow mochi ice cream to set in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy within 2-3 days for best texture.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Mangoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, sweet mangoes to make your puree. The riper the mango, the more vibrant and delicious your ice cream will be!
- Use Quality Ice Cream: Opt for high-quality vanilla ice cream to complement the mango flavor. The creaminess of the ice cream enhances the overall texture and taste.
- Work Quickly with the Dough: Mochi dough can be sticky, so work quickly when wrapping the ice cream balls. Dust your hands and the dough with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to get creative! Try adding a hint of coconut milk to the mochi dough or swapping in different fruit purees for a unique twist.
- Storage Tips: To maintain the best texture, store your mochi ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
