Description
Strawberry mochi is a delicious Japanese dessert that combines the chewy texture of glutinous rice flour with a creamy strawberry filling. These homemade treats are fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make, perfect for any occasion or as a sweet snack.
Ingredients
100g glutinous rice flour
30g cornstarch
35g sugar
180ml milk
2–3 drops strawberry food coloring (optional)
15g butter
150ml non-dairy whipping cream
50ml dairy whipping cream
1–2 tbsp condensed milk
3 tbsp strawberry puree
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, milk, and strawberry food coloring. Stir until the mixture is fully combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and steam it in the microwave for 20 minutes, or until the dough becomes translucent.
- Once the dough is steamed, add the butter and mix it in until well combined.
- Knead the dough until it’s soft and stretchy. Let it cool for about 45 minutes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the non-dairy whipping cream, dairy whipping cream, condensed milk, and strawberry puree. Use a hand mixer to whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks.
- Dust your working surface and the dough with more glutinous rice flour to prevent sticking.
- Flatten the dough into small circular shapes. Place a spoonful of the strawberry filling in the center of each piece and pinch the edges of the dough to seal it, creating little mochi balls.
- Tap the bottom of the mochi with more glutinous rice flour to remove any excess moisture.
- Gently brush off any extra flour from the mochi before serving.
- Once assembled, your strawberry mochi is ready to be enjoyed. Serve these delicious treats as a sweet snack or dessert.
Notes
For a vegan version, use only non-dairy whipping cream and substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative.
Try experimenting with different fruit purees like mango or matcha for unique flavors.
If you prefer chocolate, swap the strawberry filling for a rich chocolate ganache.
