- 200g Glutinous rice flour (1 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup sweetener of choice

Assembly
Peach Jam
- Combine the strawberries and sweetener in a small saucepan
- Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have softened and the mixture is thick and jam-like
- Remove from the heat and cool in the fridge until chilled
Mochi
- Combine the glutinous rice flour, sweetener, and cornstarch in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, and whisk to combine
- Add the milk and food coloring, and whisk until smooth
- Cover the mochi mixture with cling wrap and microwave for 2 minutes on high
- Uncover and stir
- Then re-cover and microwave for another 2 minutes, the mochi dough should be semi-translucent
- If the mochi is still slightly liquidy/milky re-cover it and microwave at 1-minute intervals until cooked through
- Allow the mochi to cool enough to handle
- Add the vegetable oil and using gloved or oiled hands knead until smooth
- Prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper
- Divide the mochi into 8 equal portions and place on the baking sheet
Whipped Cream
- Combine the cream, crema cheese, and sweetener in a bowl and whisk until stiff peaks
- Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a medium-sized round tip and place it in the fridge to chill before use
Assembly
- Dust your work surface with cornstarch
- Roll one portion of mochi into a ball and place it on your work surface
- Dust it with more cornstarch and roll it out into a circle
- Get a small bowl or sauce dish and place the skin in the bowl
- Pipe a swirl of whipped cream on the mochi skin in the bottom of the bowl
- Top with a small scoop of jam
- Bring the edges of the mochi together to enclose the filling
- Use a pair of scissors to snip the end off, and dust with more cornstarch to get rid of any stickiness
- Turn the bowl over to reveal the perfect mochi!
- Repeat with the remaining mochi and filling
- Place in the fridge to set before serving
