Description
Indulge in the irresistible flavors of Ube Butter Mochi, a quick and delightful Hawaiian-inspired dessert that combines the natural sweetness of ube with the rich, creamy texture of butter.
Ingredients
– 1 cup mochiko (sweet rice flour)
– 1/2 cup ube puree
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. 1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mochiko, ube puree, butter, sugar, and salt. Mix well until fully incorporated.
2. 2. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mochi dough is smooth and pliable, about 2-3 minutes total.
3. 3. Lightly dust a clean surface with mochiko flour. Transfer the mochi dough to the dusted surface and knead briefly until it becomes less sticky.
4. 4. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
5. 5. Place the mochi balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rest for 10 minutes.
6. 6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. 7. Bake the mochi for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden on the outside.
8. 8. Remove the mochi from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use salted butter instead of unsalted. Refrigerate any leftover mochi in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
