Step 1
Scoop ice cream into 8 balls. Place on a parchment-lined plate and freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Mix rice flour, powdered sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
Step 3
Add water and vanilla to the dry mixture. Stir until a thick, smooth dough forms.
Step 4
Microwave the dough uncovered for 50 seconds. Stir well until glossy and thick.
Step 5
Let dough cool for 5 minutes until it's cool enough to handle but still soft.
Step 6
Dust a work surface with cornstarch. Turn dough onto it and knead gently 2–3 times.
Step 7
Divide dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each into a 3-inch round.
Step 8
Place one ice cream ball in center of each round. Wrap dough around it, sealing edges.
Step 9
Place filled mochi on parchment, seam-side down. Freeze until ready to eat, at least 2 hours.
