Easy 3-Ingredient Mango Mochi – A Sweet Asian Dessert You’ll Love

Prep Time: 2 minutes Cook Time: 3 minutes Course: Dessert Cuisine: Japanese Servings: 6 mochi Author: Aleda

Ingredients

For the Mochi Dough:

• ⅔ cup mochiko flour (sweet rice flour or glutinous rice flour, ~90 g)
• ⅔ cup ripe mango, diced (about 5 oz / 141 g), blended into roughly ½ cup puree

For the Filling:

• ⅔ cup of pastry cream, vanilla pudding, or ice cream of your choice

Instructions

1. Make the Mango Puree: Place the diced mango into a mini blender and puree until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Mochi Dough: In a microwave-safe glass bowl, combine the mochiko flour and the mango puree.
3. Cook the Mochi: Microwave the mixture for 90 seconds. Using a sturdy metal spoon (wooden spoons might warp), stir the mochi to blend the cooked and uncooked parts evenly. Microwave again for another 60 seconds.
4. Shape the Mochi: Lightly grease a baking pan with oil. Pour the cooked mochi onto the pan and gently flatten it with your hands once it’s cool enough to touch (the dough will be HOT, so gloves are helpful). Cut into 6 equal pieces using kitchen scissors.
5. Add the Filling: Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of your filling with a small cookie scoop. Place it in the center of a mochi piece and fold the dough around it, pinching the edges to seal completely.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Your mango mochi is ready to enjoy immediately!

Notes

For softer fillings like custard or ice cream, pre-portion the filling and freeze for 1–2 hours before assembling. This makes handling easier and keeps your hands clean.
