Butter Mochi With Mango Filling Recipes

Steps:

• Silicone muffin pan, or paper liners for regular pan.
• Preheat oven 350deg.
• Combine all ingredients, mix thoroughly till smooth.
• Fill cups 80% full with batter, top with 1 heaping tablespoon mango.
• Bake for 45min or until tops are golden brown. Makes 4 muffins.

Steps:

• In a medium-size bowl, mix mango juice and the sugar until well dissolved
• Add in the rice flour ½ cup at a time until well blended.
• Pour mixture into a pan and steam for 20 minutes
• While waiting for the dough to steam, peel the mango and cube it for the filling.
• Test for doneness when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Take pan out and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes
• Lay cornstarch onto a wide working surface to avoid the dough from sticking to the work surface.
• Also generously cover hands with cornstarch.
• While still warm, scoop the dough out of the pan with a spoon covered in cornstarch and roll into medium size balls.
• Flatten the dough ball and place a mango cube in the middle.
• Close the ball tightly and place on a plate that is dusted with cornstarch.
• Repeat until all of the dough is used.
• Lightly brush the balls with water and then gently sprinkle the shredded coconut onto the balls.
• (note:when rolling the balls from the dough, this part is the hardest. It is very sticky and some what difficult to work with. The cooler the dough is, the harder the dough will be to work with. Also the more cornstarch you have on your hands and use, the less it will stick to you and the dough will be easier to work with. But you can also try to line your steamer pan with a cheesecloth and then when it is ready, just lay the dough onto a cutting board that has been generously sprinkled with cornstarch and roll it into a log and then slice the dough from that instead of doing it in the procedure above. This would be easier and less messy. Also it would be better to use a ripe mango so the filling will be really nice and sweet).

Steps:

• Make the mochi: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
• Whisk the mochiko, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Prepare the batter in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or whisk: Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and thick. Continue whisking while pouring in the coconut milk, then the butter and vanilla. Continue whisking while gradually adding the mochiko mixture. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth. Pour into the prepared pan, then tap it against the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
• Bake until golden brown and crackly, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. When you press the center, it should bounce back but not indent at all. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper to slide the cooled mochi out of the pan.
• The mochi is delicious plain, but you can add a glaze if you'd like: Mix the confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp until smooth. It should be thick but drippy. If needed, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons pulp. If you'd like to create an ombré or sunset effect, scrape some into another bowl or multiple bowls and tint with food coloring. Spread the glaze evenly over the mochi, in stripes if you'd like, and let stand until set.
• Cut the mochi into squares or bars. Serve immediately, or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
