No glutinous rice flour, no cooking, no steamer. These homemade mochi come together with four sheets of rice paper, Greek yogurt and chopped fruit — five ingredients, about fifteen minutes of prep, and that soft, chewy texture you want from a mochi.

It's also a good way to use up fruit that's a little too ripe and the tub of yogurt nearing its date. Mango, strawberries, peaches, berries: anything works. And when the fruit and yogurt come from a discounted basket you found on FoodHero, dessert costs you a few dollars and nothing goes to waste.

Here's how to make 4 mochi, step by step.

Ingredients

• 4 sheets of rice paper
• Greek yogurt (your choice — I used vanilla)
• Chopped fruit (your choice — I used mango and strawberries)
• Cornstarch or rice flour
• Icing sugar

Instructions

• Soak a sheet of rice paper in water until it's pliable
• Spoon a little yogurt into the centre, add a few pieces of fruit, then top with a little more yogurt
• Gently fold the rice paper closed, as tightly as you can
• Wrap the mochi in a second sheet of rice paper to double the thickness
• Let it rest on a plate for a few minutes, then dust with cornstarch and icing sugar
• Freeze for 45 minutes before serving, or simply refrigerate
