Mochi Recipes and Chewy Rice-Flour Desserts

Start with sweet potato mochi, then explore a few other gently sweet desserts with soft, spoonable textures.

Where to begin

For true mochi chew, use glutinous rice flour—not ordinary rice flour—and follow the recipe’s moisture cues. The mango pudding, cardamom kheer and chia pudding are not mochi, but they make good next stops if tender, comforting desserts are what brought you here.
