Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour

For the filling:

  • 2 Egg yolk
  • 30g condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 200g light cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 5 digestive biscuits crushed into powder

For the Sticky Rice Cake Skin:

  • 100g glutinous rice flour
  • 30g corn starch
  • 180g milk
  • 70g sugar
  • 30g butter

Instructions

For the Sticky Rice Cake Filling:

  • Add egg yolk, condensed milk and water in a wok. Heat it and mix well. Then, transfer it in a bowl and let it cool in the refrigerator.
  • The light cream must be whipped enough until soft and smooth. Put the cold egg yolk paste in the cream and beat it evenly with a whisk.
  • Pour it into the mold and freeze it in the refrigerator to make the ice-cream.

FOR THE STICKY RICE CAKE SKIN:

  • Add the glutinous rice flour, corn starch, milk and sugar in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Pour it in a plate and steam for 20 minutes until cooked (use a chopstick to tie the middle if it is a little hard, it means cooked).
  • Transfer the cooked the glutinous rice paste in a bowl and add butter in it and stir evenly with a spatula.
  • Put a cup of glutinous rice flour in a non-stick pan and stir-fry it for about 5 minutes under a small heat until the glutinous rice flour is cooked to make a hand powder. (Hand powder can be applied to the glutinous rice paste to prevent sticking)
  • Put the hand powder on the cutting board. Apply a layer of hand powder on the palm of your hand, and then divide the glutinous rice paste into small balls by hand or mold.
  • Poke a hole in the glutinous rice ball, scoop about 1 tablespoon of ice-cream and some cookies powder in the hole. And make the wrapper completely wrap the filling into a ball. Make it into your favorite shape.
  • Spread a layer of hand powder on its surface. Serve.
