Hello, I’m Lucy. Today I’m sharing a charming treat inspired by Studio Ghibli — Soot Sprite Daifuku.
This soft, creamy mochi dessert is not only adorable but also simple to prepare with just a few key ingredients.
Ingredients: glutinous rice flour 🍚, cane sugar 🍬, charcoal 🌑, water 💧, potato starch 🥔, coconut cream 🥥, powdered sugar ❄️
Quick Prep: Whisk rice flour, sugar, charcoal, and water until smooth. Microwave in intervals until the dough becomes stretchy. Dust parchment with potato starch, place the dough on top, then flatten and chill. Meanwhile, whip coconut cream until peaks form, adding powdered sugar for sweetness.
Once the mochi is cool, divide and fill each piece with whipped cream, then seal tightly and top with edible eyes for that iconic sprite look.
These daifuku are delightfully chewy with a light, creamy center, and the charcoal gives them that whimsical soot sprite color. “The texture is heavenly, and they’re almost too cute to eat!” — a viewer's comment that sums it up perfectly.

User1.I thought this was really cute and fun until my daughter shared the true reason Miyazaki made Totoro his own words. It was to bring a sense of wonder and feeling of safety and joy to children about exploring the natural world around them during a period rapid urbanization in Japan. Much more profound and delightful 🥰
