Equipment

Ingredients

Strawberry Rice Paper Mochi

  • 7 strawberries 2 puréed, the rest chopped
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • honey to taste
  • 2 sheets rice paper
  • icing sugar for rolling

Mango Rice Paper Mochi

  • 1 mango 1/2 puréed, the rest chopped
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • honey to taste
  • 1 sheet rice paper
  • icing sugar for rolling

Instructions

  • Using a plate grater or food processor, purée your fruit of choice (strawberries or mangoes).
    A hand holding a fresh strawberry is dipping it into a decorative plate with a spiral pattern of red strawberry sauce beside soft rice paper mochi on a wooden surface.
  • Stir the puree into the yogurt with a drizzle of honey to taste.
    A hand holds a spoon with honey over a bowl containing white yogurt, rice paper mochi, and bright red fruit sauce, placed on a wooden surface with sunlight and shadow patterns.
  • Wet rice paper by dipping in water briefly — do not soak. Let it soften for about a minute until pliable. Then place it in a bowl with the sides hanging over the edge.
    A spoonful of creamy pink yogurt with strawberry pieces in a glass bowl, accompanied by delicate rice paper mochi, sits on a wooden surface in bright sunlight.
  • To the bottom of the rice paper, add a spoonful of diced fruit, the fruit-yogurt mixture, and some diced fruit on top.
    A glass bowl with pink yogurt topped with chopped fresh strawberries sits on a wooden surface, alongside delicate rice paper mochi. A spoon holds more chopped strawberries above the bowl as sunlight casts gentle shadows on the table.
  • Fold it like a packet: bottom up, sides in, top down.
    Two hands peel off a thin, clear, plastic-like sheet—resembling rice paper mochi—from a glass bowl containing small pieces of red fruit, possibly strawberries, on a wooden surface in natural sunlight.
  • Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 1 hour until firm.

  • After it has solidified, remove it from the freezer, roll in icing sugar, and enjoy right away!

Notes

  • Flavor Tip: Purée some of the fruit into the yogurt and keep the rest chopped for the best mix of flavor and texture.
  • Yogurt Swap: Greek yogurt freezes thicker and creamier, but regular plain yogurt works too.
  • Rice Paper Tip: Don’t over-soak the rice paper — a quick dip is enough since it keeps softening as you work.
  • Storage: Store uncoated mochi in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Roll in icing sugar just before serving.
  • Fruit Swap: Blueberries, peaches, raspberries, or kiwi would all work beautifully. Purée some and chop some for the best texture.
  • Serving Tip: These are best enjoyed shortly after coming out of the freezer while the texture is cold, chewy, and mochi-like. 🍓🥭
