🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet rice flour (mochiko)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened oat milk
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 150g non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 80g silken tofu (blended smooth)
  • 2 tbsp instant espresso powder
  • 3 tbsp strong brewed espresso (cooled)
  • 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
  • 8 ladyfinger cookies (broken into small pieces)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp light cream (optional garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Mochi Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Stir in oat milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms (no lumps).
2. Cook the Mochi: Microwave on high for 90 seconds, stir, then microwave another 60 seconds until translucent and stretchy. Let cool 5 minutes. Transfer to parchment paper dusted with cornstarch and flatten gently into a thin disc.
3. Infuse the Espresso: While mochi cools, combine cooled brewed espresso with instant espresso powder in a small bowl, whisking until fully dissolved. Set aside.

4. Build the Filling: In a blender, combine Greek yogurt, silken tofu, espresso mixture, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until silky and lump-free, 1–2 minutes. Fold in ladyfinger pieces gently by hand until just combined.
5. Shape the Puffs: Cut cooled mochi into two equal rectangles. Place a heaping 3 tbsp of filling on one edge, then fold and seal like an envelope, pinching edges gently to seal without tearing.
6. Chill and Dust: Refrigerate filled puffs for 10 minutes. Just before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder using a fine sieve. Drizzle lightly with cream if desired.
