Giant Mochi Ice Cream

Instructions

• Make mochi. Combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, matcha, and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk until smooth. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes.
• Mix well with using a wooden spatula.
• Line a 10-inch (25 cm) bowl with plastic, set it aside, and sprinkle your tabletop with enough potato starch to avoid sticking.
• Mix the mochi mixture and place on top of the starch.
• Roll out the mochi larger than the bowl, about 15 inches (38 cm) across.
• Lay mochi over the plastic-lined bowl.
• Make the matcha ice cream. In a large bowl, add heavy cream, condensed milk, and matcha. Using a hand mixer, whip until thickened to soft peaks.
• Add the ice cream mixture into the mochi-lined bowl. Take the excess mochi and lay it over the middle, encasing the ice cream. Cover with plastic.
• Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Bring the mochi ice cream to room temperature for 15-30 minutes before serving so mochi has time to soften.
• Garnish with extra matcha on top, if you please.
• Enjoy!
