How to cook
Prepare the pudding
- Peel the pomelo and break the flesh into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside 60g of the pulp for the pudding, and the rest to squeeze the pomelo juice from.
- Sprinkle the gelatin powder into 20ml of water in a bowl. It should bloom in 10 mins. Set aside.
- Add the sugar, coconut milk, whipping cream, and milk for the pudding in a pot. Mix well. The mixture should be kept on low heat until steam starts to appear just before it boils.
- Turn off the heat. Pour the mixture into another bowl and allow it to cool briefly before adding it to the bloomed gelatin. Stir well to dissolve.
- Add an equal amount of pomelo among five cups. Follow this by pouring the mixture over.
- Leave the mixture in the cups to chill in the fridge until it sets.
Prepare the mochi
- Squeeze the pomelo pulp to get 10ml of juice. Set aside for the mochi.
- Add the Japanese glutinous rice flour, sugar, water, and pomelo juice into a bowl. Knead the dough until it becomes soft and smooth.
- Divide the dough into five parts. Roll and shape them into ovals.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop the dough into the boiling water. Once the dough floats to the surface, boil it for another 2 mins.
- Remove the dough from the pot and place it in a bowl of ice water for 2-3 mins. Drain well.
- Stick the almond slices to form the rabbit ears. Use a little red food colouring and a toothpick to draw the rabbit eyes.
Assemble the pudding and mochi
- Place the mango jam on top of the chilled pudding, followed by the rabbit mochi.
- Top with more pomelo pulp, some herbs for decoration and it’s done!
