Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust for desired sweetness)
  • 1 pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup fresh mango puree

Coating

  • 1 cup shredded desiccated coconut (unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Thoroughly mix these dry ingredients to evenly distribute the sugar and salt throughout the flour.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour in the coconut milk and water into the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth, batter-like consistency without lumps.
  4. Steam the Batter: Transfer the batter into a heatproof dish suitable for steaming. Place the dish in a steamer over medium heat and let it steam for 20 to 25 minutes until it becomes cooked and slightly firm.
  5. Prepare Mango Filling: Spoon the mango puree in small dollops onto a plate and place it in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will firm up the filling, making it easier to handle.
  6. Form Balls: Lightly grease your hands with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Take a tablespoon of the cooled dough, flatten it into a round disc, place a small dollop of the frozen mango puree in the center, then carefully roll the dough around it to form a sealed ball.
  7. Coat with Coconut: Roll each formed bliss ball in the shredded desiccated coconut until evenly coated. This adds texture and enhances the coconut flavor.
  8. Chill Before Serving: Arrange the coated bliss balls on a plate and refrigerate them for at least 15 minutes to chill and set before serving. Enjoy them cold for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your mango and personal preference.
  • Ensure the mango puree is well-frozen before stuffing to prevent it from melting too quickly during shaping.
  • Use unsweetened desiccated coconut to balance sweetness and avoid overwhelming the natural flavors.
  • These bliss balls are best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegan option, confirm that your sugar is vegan-friendly and use coconut sugar if preferred.
