Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream. Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream! A soft rice cake filled with sweet strawberry ice cream that makes a light snack or dessert. After taking the second photo, I cut a mochi in half intending to photograph the ice cream part. But before I could do that, the ice cream had oozed out, getting all over my fingers. So I did what came instinctively—I popped the mochi into my mouth. One half-piece at a time because geez, I’m not a glutton. Wait, maybe I am. I ate two more pieces of mochi after seeing them in their pale-pink, blown-up glory on my computer screen.
