Mochi Maple Pistacho Puffs

Serves 2 | Prep Time 5 minutes | Cook Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

Directions

Cut the mochi in half and place on a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven or toaster oven. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the mochi puffs.

While the mochi cooks, coarsely grind the pistachios in a blender or food processor and place in a small bowl.

Bring syrup to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

When mochi is done, dip each piece in the hot syrup to cover. Then roll in the ground pistachios. Eat while hot.

Yield: 4 pieces; 2 per person
