Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Toast the Sesame Seeds
Begin by toasting the sesame seeds over low heat until they turn a golden brown. This process enhances their nutty aroma and flavor. Be careful not to burn them.
2. Prepare the Peanut Filling
Combine ground or chopped peanuts, roasted sesame seeds, sugar, and hot water in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture can be shaped into small balls. Divide the filling into five equal portions and roll each into a ball. Place the balls in the refrigerator to firm up while you prepare the dough.
3. Make the Mochi Dough
In a saucepan, mix the coconut milk, tapioca flour, cornstarch, and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and no longer sticks to the pan, forming a smooth, pliable dough.
4. Shape the Mochi
Divide the dough into five equal portions. Take one portion at a time and flatten it into a round disc. Place one peanut filling ball in the center, then carefully wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal and form a ball.
5. Coat with Toasted Sesame Seeds
Roll each mochi ball in the toasted sesame seeds, pressing gently to ensure the seeds stick evenly to the surface.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Your Peanut Sesame Mochi is now ready to be served! These mochi treats are perfect as a snack or dessert and pair wonderfully with tea or coffee at Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe.
