  1. A Sweet and Chewy Blueberry Delight

Making mochi at home is simpler than you might think, and this blueberry version is a fun way to showcase fresh berries. Each bite is soft, slightly sticky, and filled with a hint of sweetness from the blueberries, making it a delightful contrast to the chewy exterior.

This recipe is a great way to experiment with flavors and textures, and it’s also naturally gluten-free. You can enjoy these little bites of happiness as a snack, dessert, or even a special treat for friends and family.

A Sweet and Chewy Blueberry Delight

A plate of blue and white blueberry mochi, dusted with cornstarch, with fresh blueberries on a rustic wooden surface.

These blueberry mochi are soft and chewy, with a subtle sweetness that complements the juicy blueberries inside. Perfectly portable and easy to share, they offer a unique texture and flavor combination that’s simply irresistible.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet rice flour (mochi flour)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Cornstarch or potato starch (for dusting)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the sweet rice flour, sugar, and salt together until well combined.
  2. Add Water: Gradually stir in the water until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Microwave: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a small gap for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute. Repeat this process until the mochi is thick and slightly translucent, about 3-4 minutes total.
  4. Prepare Surface: Dust a clean surface with cornstarch or potato starch to prevent sticking.
  5. Shape Mochi: Once the mochi has cooled slightly, turn it out onto the dusted surface. Divide the mochi into small pieces, about the size of a tablespoon, and flatten each piece.
  6. Add Blueberries: Place a blueberry in the center of each flattened mochi piece, then fold the edges over to seal the blueberry inside. Roll gently to shape into a ball.
  7. Coat with Starch: Roll each mochi ball in more cornstarch or potato starch to prevent sticking before serving.
