Melona Mochi – Melon Ice Cream-Filled Mochi

150 ml Melon brand creamsicles melted
100 g glutinous rice flour or mochiko

In a microwave-safe container melt 3 popsicles. Remove the sticks. Measure 150 ml.
Add the melted popsicle to the rice flour in a microwave-safe bowl and whisk to combine.
Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes.
Uncover and use a spatula to stir well. If the mixture is pasty return to the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
Once the mixture has formed into a dough turn out on to an oiled countertop and begin kneading 1-3 minutes or until smooth.

ICE CREAM FILLING OPTIONAL
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece of mochi into a 5"(13 cm) disc.
Line a small muffin tin with plastic wrap and lay the mochi inside creating a bowl.
Cut a 1"(2 cm) section of Melona popsicle and place it inside of the mochi bowl.
Pinch up the sides of the mochi forming a little parcel.
Draw up the sides of the plastic wrap around the mochi parcel and twist tightly to form a round hemisphere.

Place the ice cream-filled mochi into the freezer and chill for at least an hour before serving.
