Ingredients

Mochi Donuts

½ cup coconut milk full fat
¼ cup unsalted butter melted
6 tbsp granulated sugar
1 egg
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1 cup + 2 tbsp sweet rice flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sprinkles

Strawberry Coconut Glaze

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
Prep 2 donut pans by greasing them with oil or butter. I used donut pans with donut molds that are 3 inches in diameter. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together ½ cup coconut milk, ¼ cup of melted unsalted butter, 6 tbsp of granulated sugar, 1 egg and 1 ½ tsp of vanilla extract.
Next, add ¼ tsp of salt, 1 cup + 2 tbsp of sweet rice flour, and 1 tsp of baking powder. Mix until just combined.
Spoon batter into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag. Cut off the tip (or corner if using a Ziploc bag) and pipe the batter into the prepped donut pans.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let donuts cool in the donut pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, combine all the ingredients for the glaze. Using a spice grinder, break down ⅓ cup of freeze dried strawberries into powder. Mix together 3 tbsp of coconut milk, ¾ cup of powdered sugar, ½ tsp of vanilla extract, and the freeze dried strawberry powder. If the glaze is not thick enough for you, add more powdered sugar.
Dip the donuts into the glaze and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage. These donuts should last up to 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container and up to 3 months in the freezer.
Reducing the sugar. Yes you can, but make sure to reduce the sweet rice flour accordingly. For every 1 tablespoon reduction in sugar, reduce the sweet rice flour by 1 1/2 teaspoon.
