Description
Healthy Strawberry Mochi is a simple, gluten-free, and vegan treat that takes just minutes to prepare. Made with fresh strawberry puree and glutinous rice flour, this chewy dessert is naturally sweet, satisfying, and perfect for anyone looking for a healthier alternative to traditional sweets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberry puree
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 2–3 tablespoons sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, agave, or sugar)
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry puree by blending fresh strawberries until smooth.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the strawberry puree, glutinous rice flour, and sweetener, mixing until smooth.
- Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir and microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes firm and sticky.
- Let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to touch, dust your hands with cornstarch and shape the mochi into small balls or discs.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later use.
Notes
- Ensure that the mixture has the right consistency before microwaving. If too thick, add a small amount of water. If too runny, add a little more glutinous rice flour.
- Allow the mochi to cool completely before handling to avoid it being too sticky.
- Dust with cornstarch to prevent the mochi from sticking together.
- This recipe can be customized by adding different fillings or toppings, such as chocolate or red bean paste.
