How to Make Fluffy Mochi Cream

This mochi cream recipe features a soft and chewy rice flour dough enveloping a rich and creamy filling. The contrast between the slightly sticky outer layer and the smooth inner filling creates a delightful taste experience that will satisfy your sweet cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochi flour)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for dusting)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for sweetening the cream)
- Flavorings for the cream (e.g., vanilla extract, fruit puree, or cocoa powder)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and any desired flavorings until soft peaks form. Set aside in the fridge to chill.
- Make the Mochi Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water. Mix until smooth.
- Cook the Mochi: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for an additional minute. Repeat for a total of 3 minutes, stirring in between until the dough is slightly translucent.
- Shape the Mochi: Dust a clean surface with cornstarch. Transfer the mochi dough to the surface and let it cool slightly. Divide the dough into small portions and flatten each piece into a circle.
- Fill the Mochi: Place a small dollop of the whipped cream filling in the center of each mochi circle. Gently fold the edges of the mochi over the filling and pinch to seal.
- Chill and Serve: Place the filled mochi cream in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. Enjoy your homemade mochi cream as a delightful treat!
