1. 1
   Dice the fresh strawberries into small cubes and place them in a bowl. Add powdered sugar, lime zest, and a small amount of lime juice; mix well and let sit for a few minutes to allow the juices to release.
   ▶ ≈0:35
2. 2
   In another bowl, combine ricotta and mascarpone cheese. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lime zest. Gently fold with a spatula until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture—be careful not to overmix as the mixture should remain firm, not liquid.
   ▶ ≈1:10
3. 3
   Prepare a shallow bowl with a small amount of water. Dip a rice paper sheet into warm water for about 20 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable.
   ▶ ≈1:58
4. 4
   Carefully place the softened rice paper into the water bowl. Spread a generous spoonful of the cheese filling in the center of the paper, being gentle to avoid tearing it.
   ▶ ≈2:17
5. 5
   Add a spoonful of the marinated strawberry pieces on top of the cheese filling in the center, then cover them with additional cheese filling.
   ▶ ≈2:37
6. 6
   Fold the edges of the rice paper toward the center to completely enclose the filling. Press gently to ensure the paper adheres well to the filling with no air pockets, creating a sealed parcel.
   ▶ ≈2:55
7. 7
   Gently roll the finished parcel in powdered sugar, coating both sides to achieve the mochi appearance. Place on a plate and serve chilled.
