Description
Watermelon Mochi is a delightful Japanese-inspired dessert that combines the sweetness of fresh watermelon with the chewy, pillowy texture of mochi. These bite-sized treats are the perfect refreshing and unique summer treat.
Ingredients
– 1 cup diced watermelon
– 1 cup mochi powder
– 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
1. 1. In a medium bowl, mix the mochi powder and sugar until well combined.
2. 2. Add the diced watermelon and gently fold to incorporate, being careful not to break down the watermelon pieces.
3. 3. Scoop out a small amount of the mochi-watermelon mixture and roll it into a ball between your palms.
4. 4. Place the mochi ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
5. 5. Refrigerate the mochi bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
6. 6. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing and chewy texture of the watermelon mochi.
Notes
For best results, use ripe and juicy watermelon. You can experiment with different fruit fillings as well, such as mango or strawberry. Store any leftover mochi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
