Coconut Mango Bliss Balls are a delightful sweet treat combining the tropical flavors of creamy coconut and fresh mango puree. These chewy, steamed glutinous rice flour balls are filled with juicy mango and coated in shredded coconut, making them a perfect refreshing snack or dessert that transports you to a tropical paradise.

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.
