Description
Discover the magic of Ube Butter Mochi – a quick, easy, and utterly delicious Hawaiian treat. Featuring the vibrant purple hue and rich, creamy flavor of ube, this soft, pillowy mochi is a must-try for any sweet tooth.
Ingredients
– 1 cup ube puree
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup mochiko (sweet rice flour)
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. – In a medium bowl, combine the ube puree, softened butter, and sugar. Mix until well incorporated.
2. – In a separate bowl, whisk together the mochiko, all-purpose flour, and salt.
3. – Add the dry ingredients to the ube mixture and stir until a smooth, sticky dough forms.
4. – Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
5. – Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough and roll them into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. – Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes, or until the mochi are puffed and slightly golden on the edges.
7. – Allow the mochi to cool completely before serving.
Notes
– For a softer, more melt-in-your-mouth texture, you can steam the mochi instead of baking.
– Experiment with different toppings or fillings, such as sweetened coconut, chopped nuts, or a dollop of ube halaya.
– Store the mochi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
