Coconut-Peanut Mochi Balls

“I could eat these snowball-like confections by the handful,” writes author Kristina Cho in her new cookbook, Mooncakes and Milk Bread. Cho likens these crave-inducing coconut-peanut mochi balls to sweet dumplings, stuffed to the brim with crunchy roasted peanuts mixed with creamy peanut butter, honey, and a generous pinch of salt. “It’s the satisfying amalgamation of chewy and crunchy that makes the treats so popular,” she writes. Coconut milk keeps the mochi skins soft for days, while the rich peanutty filling bounces between sweet and salty.
