🛒 Ingredients

✓ 12 large Medjool dates, pitted
✓ 1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
✓ 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
✓ 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
✓ 2 tbsp powdered sugar
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ 1 tbsp cornstarch (for dusting)
✓ Zest of 1 lemon

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: Blend pressed silken tofu, Greek yogurt, matcha powder, honey, vanilla, and cardamom until silky smooth. Fold in chopped pistachios by hand. Refrigerate 10 minutes.

2. Make the Mochi Dough: Whisk together glutinous rice flour, powdered sugar, and sea salt in a medium bowl. Create a well in the center.

3. Wet the Mixture: Pour almond milk and melted coconut oil into the well. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead gently for 2–3 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Divide the Dough: Divide mochi dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each between two pieces of parchment into a 3-inch circle (about 1/8-inch thick).

5. Stuff the Dates: Place 1 tbsp matcha filling into the cavity of each pitted date. Wrap a mochi circle around the date, sealing edges by pinching gently. Dust lightly with cornstarch.

6. Pan-Sear (Optional Chewy Crust): Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low. Sear mochi-dates 2 minutes per side until light golden. Transfer to parchment to cool.

7. Make Honey-Lemon Glaze: Whisk 2 tbsp honey with lemon zest and 1 tbsp water. Brush lightly over cooled mochi-dates.

8. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate on a lined tray 15 minutes before serving to set the glaze and firm the filling. Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.
