FAQs About Oreo Ice Cream Mochi
PAA1: Can I use store-bought Oreo ice cream instead?
Yes, but homemade gives you better control over cookie chunk size and flavor intensity.
PAA2: Is glutinous rice flour the same as regular rice flour?
No. Glutinous rice flour is made from sticky rice and creates the chewy texture mochi is famous for.
PAA3: How do I prevent the mochi from sticking?
Dust generously with cornstarch, not flour. Cornstarch doesn’t leave a powdery taste.
PAA4: Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Freeze them in an airtight container. Let sit at room temp for 10 minutes before serving.
PAA5: What if I don’t have a food processor?
Use a Ziplock bag and rolling pin to crush the Oreos.
PAA6: Can I use different cookie fillings?
Definitely! Try Cotton Candy Cloud Bites for a fun twist or use matcha for a traditional Japanese flair.
