If your mochi is too sticky, dust more cornstarch on your hands and the working surface. Adding a bit more cornstarch while kneading can help mitigate stickiness.

Can I make Oreo Mochi ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare Oreo Mochi a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and it will stay fresh for several days.

What’s the best way to serve Oreo Mochi?
