Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

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

For the Filling

  • 1/2 cup fresh mango puree

For the Coating

  • 1 cup shredded desiccated coconut (unsweetened preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gradually stir in the coconut milk and water until the mixture forms a smooth batter with no lumps.
  2. Steam the Dough: Transfer the batter to a heatproof dish and place it in a steamer over medium heat. Steam for 20-25 minutes until the mixture is cooked through and has a sticky, chewy texture.
  3. Freeze Mango Puree: Spoon small dollops of the fresh mango puree onto a plate and freeze them for 15 minutes. This will make the puree easier to handle as a filling.
  4. Shape the Bliss Balls: Lightly grease your hands to prevent sticking. Take about a tablespoon of the dough, flatten it into a small disc, place a frozen mango puree dollop in the center, then carefully fold the dough around it and roll into a smooth ball.
  5. Coat with Coconut: Roll each mango-stuffed dough ball in the shredded desiccated coconut until fully coated. Arrange the coated bliss balls on a plate.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the coated bliss balls for at least 15 minutes to set. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Optional: Drizzle with honey before serving for added sweetness.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fruit purees like strawberry or passionfruit for unique flavor variations.
  • Make sure to grease your hands well to handle the sticky dough easily.
  • Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a less sweet coating.
