Alternative Method: Baking Giant Mochi Ice Cream in the Oven

Ingredients:

• 1 pint of your favorite ice cream (any flavor)
• 1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• Cornstarch (for dusting)

Instructions:

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s warming up, lightly grease a muffin tin or use silicone molds.
• Prepare the Mochi Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water until you have a smooth batter. Microwave the mixture for about 1 minute or until it thickens. Stir it well, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds if needed.
• Form the Mochi Cups: Divide the mochi dough into equal portions and press them into the muffin tin or silicone molds to create cup-shaped shells. Make sure to leave space in the center for the ice cream.
• Bake the Mochi: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the mochi cups turn slightly golden. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking.
• Cool and Add Ice Cream: Allow the mochi cups to cool for a few minutes. Once they are cool to the touch, remove them from the muffin tin. Fill each mochi cup with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
• Serve: Your baked Giant Mochi Ice Cream is now ready to be served. The warm, slightly crispy mochi cups and the cold, creamy ice cream create a delightful contrast.

• Dusting of Delight: Lightly dust your baked mochi cups with powdered sugar or cocoa for an elegant finish that complements the ice cream’s sweetness.
• Whipped Cream Wonderland: Top your warm mochi cups with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra layer of indulgence that balances the dessert’s temperature contrast.
• Warm Drizzle: Drizzle warm chocolate or caramel sauce over your baked Giant Mochi Ice Cream for a delightful contrast of hot and cold.
• Mochi Sandwich: Create mochi ice cream sandwiches by slicing the baked mochi cups in half horizontally and placing a scoop of ice cream between the halves.

Cooking Tips

• Mochi Texture: To achieve the perfect mochi texture, make sure the mochi cups are soft and slightly chewy after baking. Overbaking can make them tough.
• Watch Carefully: Keep a close eye on the mochi cups while they’re in the oven. They can go from golden to overbaked in a matter of minutes.
• Mochi Cups Size: Ensure your mochi cups are the right size and shape for holding a scoop of ice cream. Press the dough evenly in the muffin tin or molds.
