Coconut pumpkin mochi balls are a delightful, chewy treat that blends the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the tropical aroma of coconut. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to making these delicious snacks.
Ingredients:
- 200g steamed pumpkin, mashed
- 250g glutinous rice flour
- 30g sugar (adjust to taste)
- 100ml warm milk
- 50g shredded coconut (for coating)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix mashed pumpkin, glutinous rice flour, sugar, and warm milk. Stir until a smooth, thick batter forms. Add vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
2. Steam the Mochi: Pour the batter into a greased tray and steam for 20-25 minutes until firm. Let it cool slightly, then knead gently until smooth.
3. Shape the Balls: Dust hands with rice flour, then divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly.
4. Coat with Coconut: Spread shredded coconut on a plate. Roll each mochi ball in the coconut until evenly coated.
5. Serve: Enjoy immediately for a soft, chewy texture, or chill for 30 minutes for a firmer bite.
These treats are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They’re perfect as a dessert or afternoon snack, combining health and indulgence in every bite!
