Ingredients

Scale

For the Mochi Dough

  • 2/3 cup mochiko flour (sweet rice or glutinous rice flour, about 90 g)
  • 2/3 cup ripened mango (5 oz / 141 g diced, to yield about 1/2 cup mango puree)

For the Filling

  • 2/3 cup pastry cream, vanilla pudding, or ice cream of choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Puree: Blend the diced ripe mango in a mini blender until creamy to create a smooth mango puree.
  2. Make the Mochi Dough: In a microwave-safe glass bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour and mango puree until well combined.
  3. First Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mochi mixture for 90 seconds to begin cooking the dough.
  4. Stir Mixture: Using a solid metal spoon, stir the mochi mixture thoroughly to evenly blend the cooked and uncooked parts. Avoid wooden spoons as they might break.
  5. Second Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mochi mixture again for 60 seconds to finish cooking.
  6. Shape and Cool: Pour the cooked mochi onto a lightly oiled baking pan. Once it cools enough to handle, flatten the mochi using your palm. Be careful as the dough will still be hot; use gloves or wait until it is safe to touch.
  7. Cut Pieces: Using kitchen shears or scissors, cut the mochi dough into 6 equal pieces.
  8. Wrap with Filling: Use a small cookie scoop to portion about 1-2 tablespoons of pastry cream, pudding, or ice cream. Wrap the mochi dough around the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal.
  9. Serve: Enjoy the mango mochi immediately, or store appropriately if using ice cream filling.

Notes

  • You can substitute pastry cream with vanilla pudding or your favorite ice cream for the filling.
  • Use gloves or wait until the mochi dough has cooled sufficiently to avoid burns while handling.
  • Mochiko flour is essential for the chewy texture; do not substitute with regular rice flour.
  • Store mango mochi containing ice cream filling in the freezer and consume promptly.
  • Wooden spoons might break when stirring hot mochi, so use a solid metal spoon.
