Cherry Mochi

Elaboración

• Preparing the Mochi Dough

  Make a paste with the rice flour, water, and FROTZ Cherry Pulp, mixing well until the mixture is smooth.

  Add the sugar little by little and mix.

  Heat the dough in the microwave in 2-minute intervals, until it totals approximately 10 minutes, stirring after each interval.

  Continue until the mixture is cooked and has a bone-white color.

  Spread it out on the work surface and let it cool to about 45 °C.

  Knead the dough by hand, using cornstarch to prevent it from sticking.

  Prepare the Cherry Ganache

  Add the invert sugar to the FROTZ Cherry Pulp and heat gently.

  Melt the white chocolate at 45 °C.

  Temper the chocolate with the hot cherry mixture and emulsify until a smooth texture is achieved.

  Add the softened butter when the mixture reaches approximately 40 °C and finish emulsifying.

  Add the fine salt, the bitter almond extract, and the red food coloring.

  Prepare the Filling

  Pour the ganache into half-sphere molds.

  Chill and then freeze to make it easier to assemble the mochi.

  Ride in Los Mochis

  Divide the mochi dough into portions and flatten each one slightly.

  Place a portion of frozen cherry ganache in the center and carefully seal the dough around the filling to form the mochi.
