Treat your ingredients with care...
- Glutinous rice flour — Make sure to use glutinous rice flour specifically, as it gives the mochi its characteristic chewy texture.
- Peanut butter — Opt for a smooth and creamy peanut butter for the filling. Natural peanut butter may work, but it can alter the texture slightly.
- Powdered sugar — Sift the powdered sugar before using to ensure a smooth and even coating on the mochi.
Tips & Tricks
- To prevent the mochi from sticking to your hands, lightly dust them with powdered sugar before handling the dough.
- Experiment with different fillings such as chocolate, red bean paste, or fruit preserves to create a variety of flavors.
- If the dough becomes too sticky while kneading, add a small amount of glutinous rice flour to achieve the desired consistency.
- Serve the Peanut Butter Mochi with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for added decadence.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Serving advice
Serve the Peanut Butter Mochi as a delightful dessert at parties, afternoon tea, or as a sweet treat after a Japanese-inspired meal. Arrange the mochi on a platter and garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Presentation advice
For an eye-catching presentation, arrange the Peanut Butter Mochi on a serving tray in a circular pattern. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and garnish with a few crushed peanuts for a touch of elegance. Serve with a side of green tea or a refreshing fruit-infused water to complement the flavors.
