Description
Milk Mochi is a delightful and easy-to-make Japanese dessert that combines sweet rice flour with milk and sugar to create a chewy, delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet rice flour (mochi flour)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour and granulated sugar. Mix well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Grease a microwave-safe dish with the unsalted butter. Pour the mochi mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot) and stir the mixture. Cover and microwave for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the dish again, stir, and microwave for another 1-2 minutes until the mochi is thick and slightly translucent.
- Let the mochi cool for about 10 minutes. Dust a clean surface with cornstarch and turn the mochi out onto it.
- Cut the mochi into squares or desired shapes, dusting each piece with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
- For a fruity flavor, mix in 1/2 cup of pureed fruit (like strawberry or mango) with the milk before combining with the dry ingredients.
