Cooking Instructions

Generously sprinkle cornstarch on a large cutting board.

[Making the Dough] Put the sweet rice flour in a microwave-safe container and slowly add water. Mix well, then add sugar and mix again.
- 3
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes. Remove and stir with a wooden spatula. Microwave again for 1 minute and stir.
- 4
It's ready when it becomes glossy.
- 5
Wet the wooden spatula and flatten the dough onto the cornstarch-covered board.
- 6
Dust with cornstarch, flip it over, and gently stretch it with both hands (it stretches easily, so don't lift it too high). Be careful as it will be hot at first.
- 7
Repeat step 6, shaping with your fingers until it's 2-3mm thick.
- 8
Once completely cooled, cut out circles using a bowl or a cookie cutter if you have one.
- 9
Remove the excess mochi dough. If freezing, proceed to step 10. If wrapping immediately, go to step 11.
- 10
[Freezing] Place plastic wrap between each piece, seal tightly to prevent drying, and freeze.
- 11
[Wrapping] Place ice cream in the center of the dough. Work quickly to place a well-shaped scoop of ice cream.
- 12
Pull the edges together and seal quickly. Freeze immediately with the sealed side up, and enjoy when you want!

Here's what it looks like when cut.

I used a case from a pack of mini Yukimi Daifuku (9 pieces). In this case, I used a cup about 8cm in diameter to cut the dough.

Success~☆ So evenly shaped! If you have a Yukimi Daifuku case, it makes the neatest result^^

Easy Daifuku with Leftover Mochi! Easy Daifuku with Leftover Mochi!
I got this idea from a magazine a long time ago and made it, but the adzuki came out watery and had too much mochi, so I came up with this simple recipe for a tasty daifuku.With a tip from Cookpad user "akilala" that adding the sugar later, the daifuku won't harden as quickly, I modified my original recipe and was pleasantly surprised!! Definitely give this a try. Recipe by RIP cookpad.japan -
Mini Strawberry Daifuku Mini Strawberry Daifuku
Regular strawberry daifuku are kind of boring, so I came up with this. I added strawberries to both the dough and the filling, and rather than making traditional manju, I arranged it like a sandwich. They turned out pretty cute!The firmness of the dough will vary depending on what type of shiratamako you use, so microwave for longer if your dough is still soft. Another point is to not use too much katakuriko when assembling.They don't harden over time, so they're great to bring as gifts. They look cute lined up in a box! For 4.

Easy Strawberry Daifuku Easy Strawberry Daifuku
I used a cookbook as reference. These have mashed strawberries in the mochi dough for a cute pink tint. The mochi dough has been improved to my liking through much trial and error.If dyeing the mochi dough pink, don't add too many strawberries or the dough will become too watery and difficult to handle. Make sure to brush off excess katakuriko from the finished product as it's not suitable for eating. Recipe by Necchan cookpad.japan -

Yuzu Daifuku Yuzu Daifuku
I made plenty of yuzu tea which is supposed to be rejuvenative but I haven't been able to use it all. So I decided to use in a snack that I could share with friends and decided on daifuku.The microwave cooking times are for a 500-600W microwave. If the jam is a bit hard, try adding 1 tablespoon water to it. If you get anko or katakuriko on the seam it will be hard to close up so be careful. Recipe by Risoa 51 cookpad.japan -
Homemade Strawberry Daifuku Homemade Strawberry Daifuku
If you use large whole strawberries and wrap with azuki bean paste, they will be too big and they won't look as cute. Just cut them up and wrap them the way I'll show you here.These days, you see large strawberries on sale. If you buy ones that are a little damaged, just discard the damaged parts and use the rest to make these. The cut strawberries tend to yield a lot of moisture, so eat straight away after making them. They do not keep long for this reason. Recipe by Nora8722 cookpad.japan -

Cheap if You Make Them Yourself! Ichigo Daifuku (Strawberry Mochi Dumplings) Cheap if You Make Them Yourself! Ichigo Daifuku (Strawberry Mochi Dumplings)
I adapted the recipe for daifuku dumplings to make ichigo daifuku (strawberry mochi dumplings). Try to use good quality shiratamako.How to wrap the dumplings: Take the dough out onto a surface dusted with katakuriko, and sprinkle more katakuriko. Spread the dough out into a flat square with your hands. Cut the dough into squares. The dough stretches, so form the dumplings while wrapping them. If the dough sticks to your hands, dust them or your hands with katakuriko. For 12 small dumplings. Recipe by mipon cookpad.japan -
Yukimi Daifuku (Mochi Dumplings Filled with Ice Cream) Yukimi Daifuku (Mochi Dumplings Filled with Ice Cream)
I live overseas, and my favorite Yukimi daifuku costs 3 times what they cost in Japan, so I really wanted to make them myself, and I was able to do so.In steps 6 and 7, the dough is very hot, but it cools down quickly. The dough is very easy to handle, so work patiently, trying not to rip it. When freezing the dough, try to wrap it up as air-tight as possible. 100 g of castor sugar may seem like a lot, but this prevents the dough from becoming hard, plus it makes working with the dough in steps 6 and 7 easy. If you are making it with the "Best Gyuuhi -," which reduces the sugar to 80 g, wait until the dough has softened at room temperature first before eating. For 6 to 8 dumplings.
