Low-Fat Rice Paper Fruit Daifuku

Ingredients

• 4 Rice paper (several sheets, enough for desired number of daifuku)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (can use honey-flavored yogurt or plain Greek yogurt)
• 1 tbsp Honey (to taste, for sweetening the yogurt)
• 1 cup Fresh fruit (diced; author recommends dragon fruit, kiwi, or mango)
• Cornstarch (for dusting to prevent sticking)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the yogurt filling by mixing Greek yogurt with a bit of honey to taste for added sweetness.

2. 2

   Wash and dice your favorite fruits (such as dragon fruit) into small, bite-sized pieces.

3. 3

   Briefly dip a sheet of rice paper into water to soften it, then lay it flat on a clean surface or container.

4. 4

   Place a portion of the diced fruit in the center of the rice paper.

5. 5

   Drizzle a generous spoonful of the honey-sweetened Greek yogurt over the fruit.

6. 6

   Carefully fold the four sides of the rice paper inward to fully enclose the fruit and yogurt filling, forming a plump, round parcel.

7. 7

   Lightly dust the outside of the daifuku with cornstarch to prevent it from sticking to surfaces or other pieces.

8. 8

   Place the assembled daifuku in the freezer for approximately 1 hour.

9. 9

   Serve immediately after freezing for an ice cream-like texture, or let it thaw slightly for a soft and chewy 'mochi' texture.

Notes

The author notes that dragon fruit is particularly sweet and juicy for this recipe. If you use pre-sweetened honey yogurt, you can skip adding extra honey.
