Description
Sink your teeth into the irresistible, melt-in-your-mouth goodness of ube butter mochi. This classic Filipino dessert combines the sweet, fragrant flavors of ube with the chewy, pillowy texture of mochi for a truly indulgent treat.
Ingredients
– 1 cup mochiko (sweet rice flour)
– 1/4 cup white sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/4 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
– 1/4 cup milk
– Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. – In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mochiko and sugar. Mix well.
2. – Add the softened butter and ube halaya to the bowl. Use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, cohesive dough.
3. – Microwave the dough for 1 minute. Remove and knead again, then microwave for another 1-2 minutes, until the dough is soft and pliable.
4. – Lightly dust a clean surface with mochiko flour. Transfer the dough to the prepared surface and knead briefly to smooth it out.
5. – Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
6. – Arrange the mochi balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
7. – Serve the ube butter mochi warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
– For a creamier texture, you can add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of milk to the dough.
– If the dough becomes too sticky, dust your hands with a bit more mochiko flour.
– Store leftover mochi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
