Prepare your workspace. Set up a shallow dish with about 1 inch of water. Have your rice paper wrappers, Greek yogurt, and diced strawberries (and optional blueberry jam/blueberries) ready.

Take one rice paper wrapper and carefully submerge it in the shallow dish of water. Allow it to soak for 15-30 seconds, or until it becomes soft and pliable. Do not oversoak, or it will become too delicate to handle.

Gently transfer the softened rice paper wrapper to a clean, flat surface, such as a plate or cutting board. Spread it out smoothly.

For a strawberry mochi: Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt in the center of the softened rice paper. Arrange about 2 tablespoons of diced strawberries over the yogurt. Add another 1/2 tablespoon of Greek yogurt on top of the strawberries, then top with an additional 1 tablespoon of diced strawberries.

To fold the mochi: Carefully fold the left and right sides of the rice paper wrapper inwards over the filling, overlapping slightly if possible. Then, starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll the rice paper upwards to create a compact, rectangular parcel. Ensure the filling is securely enclosed.

If making blueberry mochi (optional): Repeat step 2 and 3 with a new rice paper wrapper. Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of blueberry jam in the center. Arrange about 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh blueberries over the jam. Add 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt over the blueberries, then top with an additional 1 tablespoon of fresh blueberries and 1/2 tablespoon of Greek yogurt.

Fold the blueberry mochi using the same technique as in step 5: fold the left and right sides inwards, then tightly roll from the bottom upwards.

Repeat steps 2-5 (and 6-7 if making blueberry mochi) for the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients until you have 8 mochi parcels.

Arrange all assembled fruit mochi onto a plate or a freezer-safe tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Ensure they are not touching each other.
⏱️ 1 min

Transfer the plate or tray to the freezer and freeze for 1 hour. This freezing time is crucial for achieving the perfect mochi-like texture.
⏱️ 60 min

Remove the frozen fruit mochi from the freezer. They should be firm but still slightly yielding. Serve immediately as a refreshing and healthy dessert.
