Peanut Butter Mochi
Peanut butter mochi is easy to make and tastes delicious. I made the mochi dough on the stovetop and it took less than 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ¼ cups glutinous rice flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. The mixture will be a bit sticky at first but once you refrigerate it, you can shape the mixture into balls with your hands.
- In a nonstick pan, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water. Put it over medium heat. Use a rubber spatula to constantly stir until the mixture becomes very thick and forms a dough, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Dust your work surface with cornstarch. Place the dough on the work surface and dust with more cornstarch. Roll it into a ¼-inch thick rectangle. Dust off any excess starch from the surface of the dough. Cut the dough into 8 pieces.
- Using your hands, scoop a tablespoon of the peanut butter filling and shape it into a round ball. Place it in the center of a piece of dough. Pull the sides of the dough over top of the filling and pinch to seal. Use a dough scraper to chop off excess dough. Place seam-side down on cornstarch and repeat with the rest.
- You can eat these right away but I really love to freeze them for an hour until they firm up. Enjoy!
