Mochi ice cream
Mochi is a Japanese cake made from rice that can also be prepared as ice cream. This cake is traditionally eaten in Japan at New Year. However, this recipe can also be enjoyed as ice cream in warm summer temperatures. The shell consists of just two ingredients: Glutinous rice flour and sugar. The glutinous rice flour is made from mochi rice (or glutinous rice). The mochi are filled with bean paste, chocolate filling or ice cream. In addition to their exceptional taste, mochi are gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan. Unlike conventional cakes, mochi can therefore be eaten without hesitation :-) Of course, you can also buy the Japanese specialty in various stores. However, making your own is more fun and brings a bit of Japanese tradition to your home.
