Ingredients
Dough
- 80 g Glutinous rice flour ½ cup + 1 tbsp
- 25 g Cornstarch 3 tbsp
- 20 g Sugar 1½ tbsp
- 135 g Milk ½ cup + 1 tbsp
- 5 g Honey ¾ tsp
- 16 g Butter 1 tbsp + 1 tsp
Mochi Filling
- 120 g Red bean paste about ½ cup
- 8 Shine Muscat grapes can be replaced with other fruit
For Dusting
- 4 tbsp cornstarch to keep the dough from sticking

- 1 tsp chocolate syrup optional: chocolate pen
Equipment
Method
- Wash the Shine Muscat grapes or the fruit you prepared, and remove the water well. Divide the red bean past
- Wrap each Shine Muscat grape, one by one, with the red bean paste. Put them in the fridge.
- Add the glutinous rice flour, the cornstarch for the dough, sugar, honey and milk, and mix well.Cover with plastic wrap, poke some holes, and microwave at 700W for 1 minute.
- Knead with a spatula, and from now on keep microwaving in 30-second bursts and kneading with the spatula until you get a chewy, mochi-like texture.I microwaved it 4 more times. Microwaving little by little lowers the chance of failing.
- When you get a mochi-like texture, add the butter and knead well.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch you prepared for dusting, and knead the dough while stretching it.
- Divide the mochi into 8 pieces and shape each into a small ball. Roll them out thin with a rolling pin.
- Cover the red-bean-wrapped fruit you prepared with the mochi dough and make a ghost shape.
- Draw the eyes and mouth with a chocolate decorating pen.
