If you don’t have strawberry extract, or if you’re trying to avoid artificial flavors, feel free to omit it! When you’re grinding the freeze dried strawberries into a powder, leave some larger chunks. In order to have the strawberry flavor pull through, I recommend using a combination of freeze dried strawberries and strawberry extract. ![]() One thing I’ve learned from making countless mochi desserts is that it’s kind of difficult to have strong flavors in mochi.
