Mango Mochi is a sweet and chewy dessert that originated in Japan and has recently become popular in other parts of the world, including the United States. Mochi is a chewy rice cake made with glutinous rice flour, water, and sugar. Mango Mochi is a variation that includes mango juice and fresh mango pieces, giving it a unique, fruity flavor. This versatile dessert can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh fruit, ice cream, or whipped cream. It is a great option for people with dietary restrictions, as it is gluten-free and vegan.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8 inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
2.	In a mixing bowl, mix glutinous rice flour and sugar. Add mango juice and mix well until it becomes a doughy mixture.
3.	Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish. Smooth it out until it is even.
4.	Bake for 25-30 minutes. Once done, let it cool before slicing into squares.
5.	Cut the mango into small cubes. Roll each square of mochi in potato or cornstarch to prevent sticking. Add a few cubes of mango into each square, folding the mochi around the mango piece to make a ball.
6.	Sprinkle the optional coconut flakes on top, and stir the mochi balls on a tray of cornstarch to coat them.
7.	Mango Mochi is ready to serve chilled.
