For the mochi dough:
100g glutinous rice flour
30g corn starch
35g sugar
180ml milk
2–3 drops strawberry food coloring
15g butter
For the strawberry cream filling:
150ml non-dairy whipping cream
50ml dairy whipping cream
1–2 tbsp condensed milk
3 tbsp strawberry purée
Whip the filling: In a chilled bowl, beat both whipping creams together until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the condensed milk and strawberry purée. Scoop into small portions and freeze until firm.
Cook the mochi dough: In a bowl, whisk rice flour, corn starch, sugar, milk, and food coloring. Microwave for 2 minutes, stir, and heat again in 1-minute intervals until it thickens. Stir in the butter until smooth and shiny.
Cool and portion: Once the dough cools slightly, dust a surface with cornstarch and divide the mochi into small balls.
Assemble: Flatten each mochi round, place a frozen cream ball in the center, and pinch to seal. Shape gently into a ball.
Chill & enjoy: Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for the perfect texture.
