Instructions
 

Before You Make the Mochi

  • Prepare mochi filling by rolling about 1-2 Tablespoons of prepared coffee bean paste filling into balls. Set aside. If you would like to eat the mochi plain, you can skip this step.
  • Sprinkle the starch onto a clean dish or baking pan. Set aside.

Make the Mochi

  • In a microwaveable glass bowl (like Pyrex), mix the applesauce with sugar and mochiko flour until a smooth dough forms
  • Microwave the applesauce-mochi mixture for 2 minutes
  • Use a SOLID METAL spoon (wooden spoons might break!) to stir the cooked mochi so that the cooked and uncooked parts are evenly mixed
  • Microwave the mochi mixture again, this time for 1 minute
  • Pour the cooked mochi onto the baking pan sprinkled with starch
  • Cut the mochi into 6 pieces using scissors
  • Eat as is, or fill with prepared coffee bean paste filling. Enjoy!

Notes

**Use 2 Tbsp if you’re using a sweet filling. Use 4 Tbsp if you’re eating plain. I used raw cane (white) granulated sugar for this because I wanted the color of the mochi to be as light as possible. But you can also use coconut sugar, maple sugar or brown sugar, or sugar-free options such as monk fruit sweetener
