Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust for desired sweetness)
  • 1 pinch salt (to elevate flavors)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup fresh mango puree
  • 1 cup shredded desiccated coconut (unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Gather all ingredients and have your workspace ready for mixing and shaping the bliss balls.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of sugar and salt.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Gradually stir in coconut milk and water into the dry mix, whisking until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
  4. Steam the batter: Transfer the batter to a heatproof dish. Steam over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture becomes firm and sticky, indicating it has cooked through.
  5. Freeze mango puree: Scoop small portions of fresh mango puree onto a plate and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to handle during assembly.
  6. Form bliss balls: Lightly grease your hands to prevent sticking. Take a tablespoon of the steamed dough, flatten it in your palm, place a dollop of frozen mango puree in the center, and carefully roll into a smooth ball, enclosing the mango inside.
  7. Coat with coconut: Roll each ball generously in shredded desiccated coconut until fully coated. Place the coated bliss balls on a serving plate.
  8. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the bliss balls for 15 minutes before serving, allowing them to set and be enjoyed chilled.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of your mangoes and personal preference.
  • Ensure the mango puree is firm enough after freezing to avoid melting during rolling.
  • Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a more balanced sweetness.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the sugar is vegan-friendly.
  • Keep refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain freshness and texture.
