CHI CHI DANGO - Japanese dessert image

Now here is a dessert that has been around our family table forever. I have since been teaching and making this with my first grand daughter for the past 4 years, she is now 8 years old. She just loves this dessert and started asking to help make it when she was 4 years old. Chi Chi Dango is so esthetically pleasing to the eye...

2 c water
2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2. Blend coconut milk, water, vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  • 3. Add a few drops of red or green food coloring, or whatever color you want to make it. Mix well, so there are no streaks or dots of food color.

  • 5. Remove from the oven and take off the foil to cool. Cut the mochiko with a plastic knife. Cut them into small pieces approximately 1 x 1 1/2 inches.
  • 6. In a plastic zip-lock bag pour in katakuriko or kinako, add cut pieces of chi chi dango a little at a time, so the pieces will not stick together. Lightly shake them off and place on a serving platter.
  • 7. If you cannot find katakuriko or kinako, you can roll the Chi Chi Dango in cornstarch.

Chi Chi Dango turned out great! The mochi was soft and chewy, and the filling was sweet and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
