Mochi Durian ice-cream /black sesame

A lovely dessert, soft, slightly sweet , and chewy, this is wonderful traditional dessert. Ready in only mins. Best with steaming hot chinese tea. 

I divided the recipe into two halves for one batch each of black sesame paste mochi and durian icecream mochi. 

Very easy to make . 

Side note : the mochi dough is SUPER sticky, so be sure to prepare your surface and hands with starch before making the balls . Otherwise , very yummy and easy !

Ingredients
1/2 cup glutinous rice flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
wheat starch for dusting

Filling

Homemade Durian ice-cream(refer to my ice-cream recipe) /black sesame paste 

Pour glutinious rice flour into a bowl and combine it with the water. Stir it well and add in the sugar and whisk until well combine. Stir it well, and cover with plastic wrap. Put the bowl in the microwave and heat for 2mins. After 2mins , take it out and give the mochi a stir so that it doesn't burn. Cover it and back to the microwave for another 30secs to finish cooking. You can tell that it's done when the dough is shiny and almost translucent. Now cover your work surface with some plastic wrap and dust it generously with wheat starch . Pour the mochi on the work surface and sprinkle on some more starch on top. The wheat starch is to keep the mochi from sticking to everything cus it's going to be super sticky ! Once it's cooled down enough, start spreading it out into a nice thin layer. If it starts to stick to your rolling pin, just add more wheatstarch. Cut the dough into even 3inch square pieces with a knife, let it chill in the fridge for about 30 mins.and now you're ready to form your mochi balls. Take your  mochi layers and ice cream out of the fridge . Then quickly take a layer of mochi dough and then wrap it over the icecream/sesame paste. Back to the fridge and chill the mochi ball for at lease 45 mins before serving.
