If you’ve ever had the Japanese treat of ice cream wrapped in mochi (soft rice dough), you might have wondered how you can make this bite-sized awesomeness at home.

I just stumbled on what appear to be some pretty simple instructions at japaneseicecream.blogspot.com.

These are the only ingredients you need:

Sweet rice powder
Sugar
Water 
Ice cream
Cornstarch

Then 12 simple steps later, you’re in business! I’m excited to try this out!
