Strawberry Mochi

It’s summer time which means it’s the perfect time to make Ichigo Daifuku which is a Japanese sweet made from azuki bean paste, mochi, and strawberries.  Now that delicious strawberries are available at my local farmer’s market, I decided to make this delicious dessert yesterday.  You can find the recipe here : Ichigo Daifuku Recipe

This time I used turbinado sugar which gave the mochi a little bit of a rustic look.  I also used agave to sweeten the red beans instead of sugar.
