Description
Indulge in the delightful, bite-sized pleasure of Whole Peach Mochi. This easy-to-make Japanese dessert features a soft, pillowy mochi exterior enveloping a refreshing peach center, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
– 1 cup mochi rice flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup water
– 4 ripe peach slices
Instructions
1. 1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mochi rice flour and sugar. Gradually stir in the water until a sticky dough forms.
2. 2. Microwave the dough for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat this process 2-3 times until the dough becomes smooth and stretchy.
3. 3. Dust a clean surface with cornstarch or potato starch. Transfer the mochi dough to the surface and knead it briefly to form a smooth ball.
4. 4. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a round disc and place a peach slice in the center.
5. 5. Gently wrap the mochi dough around the peach slice, sealing the edges to create a smooth, spherical shape.
6. 6. Serve the Whole Peach Mochi immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
For best texture, consume the mochi within 2-3 days. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also experiment with different fruit fillings, such as strawberry or mango.
