Peanut coconut mochi
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups sweet rice flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup caster sugar
- 1 ½ cups coconut milk
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup roasted peanuts, finely chopped
- ½ cup coconut flakes, coarsely chopped
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut flakes, coarsely chopped
Steps
- Brush a flat-bottomed cake pan with some vegetable oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
- Prepare your steamer with water and bring to a boil.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sweet rice flour, cornstarch, caster sugar, coconut milk, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared cake pan, and gently tap on a table to distribute it evenly.
- Once the water in the steamer is boiling, steam the dough mixture for 15 minutes over high heat. Let it cool completely.
- Make the filling by combining the chopped peanuts, coconut flakes, sugar and 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Set it aside.
- Once the dough cools, transfer it onto a large piece of wax paper and cut it into 16 equal squares.
- Take a piece of dough, add about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center, and close the dough around the filling, pinching it closed. Roll in the coconut flakes to coat.
