Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes + chilling time
Total Time: 17 minutes + chilling time
Equipment: Microwave, spatula, mixing bowls, freezer-proof dish
Servings: Makes about 12-15 mochi pieces
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the coconut filling. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, shredded coconut, and butter. Stir the mixture continuously until all the ingredients are well combined and the butter has melted completely.
2. Once the mixture has thickened slightly, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool down to room temperature. After it cools, transfer the coconut filling to a freezer-proof dish and place it in the freezer for about 1 hour to firm up.
3. While the coconut filling is chilling, prepare the mochi dough. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the glutinous rice flour and sugar. Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter is formed.
4. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate or plastic wrap and microwave for 3 and a half minutes. Carefully remove the cover, as it may be hot and steamy, and stir the mixture with a spatula. Return it to the microwave and cook for another 3 and a half minutes.
5. Dust a clean surface and your hands with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Once the mochi dough is cooked, place it onto the prepared surface and let it cool slightly until it is manageable to handle but still warm.
6. Divide the mochi dough into small, equal-sized portions. Flatten each portion into a disk, then place a small amount of the chilled coconut filling in the center of each disk.
7. Pinch the edges of the mochi dough together to seal the filling inside, creating a small ball. Make sure the filling is completely enclosed within the mochi.
8. Repeat the process until all the mochi dough and filling are used up. Serve the Coconut Mochi Delight at room temperature or slightly chilled for a refreshing dessert.
Cooking Tips: If the mochi dough becomes too tough to work with, microwave it for a few seconds to soften it. Always dust your hands with cornstarch when handling the dough to avoid stickiness.
