Making mochi sheets
1. Place Shiratamako, sugar, and water into a microwave safe bowl and stir them
thoroughly.
2. Loosely wrap the bowl with cling wrap and microwave the mixture on 600w for 2
minutes.
3. Take out the bowl and stir the mixture with a spatula and place the cling wrap again and
microwave on the same setting for 1 and half minutes.
4. Transfer the cooked mochi to a prepared work surface generously dusted with Katakuriko
(potato starch).
5. Dust more Katakuriko (potato starch) over the mochi in order to prevent the mochi
sticking to your fingers and the rolling pin. Press the mochi down to spread the mochi
and roll thinly with a rolling pin.
6. Cut out the mochi into round shapes using a round cookie cutter about 9cm(3.54inch) in
diameter. It should make about 10 round mochi sheets.

sheet then lay another layer of cling wrap on top and another mochi sheet. Repeat the
process for all mochi sheets.
8. Refrigerate the mochi sheets to allow it to cool down completely for at least 30 minutes.

2. Dust the excess katakuriko (potato starch) off the mochi sheet with a pastry brush.
3. Place one ice cream scoop on top of the mochi sheet. Lift up the mochi sheet to bring to
the top and pinch them all together to seal the mochi sheet.
4. Wrap whole mochi ice cream with the cling wrap and twist them at the top and put it
back in the freezer. Repeat the same process for the remaining.
5. Let the ice cream freeze again for a few hours.
