Description
Apple Pie Cream Mochi is a soft, chewy dessert filled with creamy cinnamon-spiced apples, combining cozy fall flavors with a chilled, delicate texture.
Ingredients
80 g mochiko flour
25 g cornstarch
12 g neutral oil
25 g sugar
140 g milk
2 Tbsp glutinous rice flour (for toasting and dusting)
114 g baking apples, peeled and cored
7 g lemon juice
30 g light brown sugar
10 g cornstarch
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
100 g heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Toast the glutinous rice flour in a dry pan over low-medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool completely.
- Finely chop the apples and cook in a saucepan with lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon until thickened. Let cool completely.
- Whip the cold heavy cream to medium-soft peaks, then fold in the cooled apple mixture and whip until firm. Chill the filling.
- Mix mochiko flour, cornstarch, oil, sugar, and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and microwave for 2 minutes, stir, then continue in 1-minute intervals until sticky and translucent.
- Alternatively, steam the mixed batter in an oiled dish for 15–20 minutes until solid.
- While hot, fold the dough with a spatula, then knead until smooth and stretchy once cool enough to handle. Let cool completely.
- Divide dough into 10 pieces and keep covered. Dust hands and surface with toasted flour, then flatten each piece into a 3–4 inch round.
- Add a spoonful of filling to each round, seal tightly, and shape into balls.
- Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla for extra flavor.
Cream cheese can be added to the filling for richness.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Let sit at room temperature briefly before serving if too firm.
Do not reheat as it affects texture.
