In a medium mixing bowl, combine sweet rice flour and granulated sugar.
Gradually add coconut milk to the dry ingredients, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until a smooth batter forms.
Mix in the fresh mango purée until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a small gap for steam to escape, and microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes.
Stir the mixture thoroughly, then cover again and microwave for an additional 2 minutes or until the dough becomes firm and slightly translucent.
Once done, let the mochi dough cool for a few minutes until it's cool enough to handle.
Spread cornstarch over a clean, flat surface and dust your hands with it to prevent sticking.
Transfer the mochi dough onto the cornstarch-dusted surface. Knead gently to ensure an even consistency, adding more cornstarch as necessary to prevent sticking.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Flatten each part into a circular shape with the center being thicker than the edges.
Place a small portion of diced fresh mango in the center of each dough circle.
Carefully gather the edges of the dough circle over the mango to form a ball, pinching the ends together to seal the filling.
Repeat with the remaining dough and mango until all mochi balls are formed.
Dust any excess cornstarch off the mochi and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
