Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix the vanilla Greek yogurt and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Prepare the Strawberries & Crust
Slice strawberries. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Pat the strawberries dry. Excess moisture can make the rice paper slippery and soften the graham cracker crust. 💡 Use thin strawberry slices. Thin slices wrap more easily and create a prettier cross-section when sliced. -
Soften the Rice Paper
Briefly soak a rice paper wrapper in warm water. Place it on a clean work surface.
-
Assemble the Mochi
Arrange strawberry slices in the center of the rice paper. Add a layer of cheesecake filling, followed by a small rice paper circle, the graham cracker crust, another rice paper circle, and a final layer of cheesecake filling.
-
Wrap & Seal
Carefully gather the rice paper around the filling and seal to form a ball.
-
Prevent Sticking
Lightly coat the outside with glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, or potato starch.
-
Chill & Enjoy
Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
