Sweet Cheese Mochi

Sweet Cheese Mochi

Soft, chewy, and filled with melty cream cheese, Sweet Cheese Mochi is a quick and comforting treat with the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for frying)
  • Optional: honey or syrup for dipping

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, and milk until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Divide the dough into small balls, flatten each, and place a cube of cream cheese in the center. Seal and gently shape into discs.
  3. Preheat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it.
  4. Place mochi in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  5. Let rest for 1 minute before serving. Optionally, serve with honey or syrup on the side.

Notes

  • Use glutinous rice flour, not regular rice flour, for the right texture.
  • Chill cheese cubes before filling to prevent leaks.
  • Damp hands make shaping easier.
