雪苺娘(ゆきいちご): Yuki Ichiko: Strawberry and cream Daifuku

 One of the reason that I love request is I have a chance to make something new and interesting ^^, some of them I never known about it before until someone send me the request.

 This time it a "雪苺娘(ゆきいちご): Yuki Ichiko: Strawberry and cream Daifuku". After I saw it I think that I have to make it, haha. But it's not easy to create something when you can't find the right ingredient -*-, the recipe that I adapted from is come from 雪苺娘(ゆきいちご), that use the Shiratamako (白玉粉) for making the Daifuku dough. Shiratamako (白玉粉) is not simple glutinous rice flour, it had been processed and mixed with other kind of starch, it comes in granule form than powder. First I think that it will be good to use the Shiratamako (白玉粉) too, but I change my mind, it will be better if I can find the right substitute. Finally I find the suggestion from Justhungry.com. But it's not that easy, the first time I couldn't make the Daifuku dough, the texture was not right and I couldn't warp it.

Anyway, I got it right this time, ^^. I think the most important step is when heating the dough in the microwave, watch the texture of it carefully, because after first 2 minutes, you will need to heat it again (30 seconds each), I heat it for 3 times but from the fact that we use different brand of microwave, you will have to decide how many times that you need to heat it until getting the right texture. 

I really recommend you to use small strawberries, as it will be cute and easier to warp it too.

My recipe is a guide, you can use more cream or make more Daifuku dough ^^, it depend on your taste and the size of your strawberry.

PS. Really love this, very soft, I already ate 2 of it by now, haha, great with a cup of hot tea.

Cut the sponge cake into small rounds, and whip the whipping cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form.

Line the cup with plastic warp, stretch it gently so it will be large enough to cover the filling, place the daifuku dough onto the plastic.
Pipe the whipped cream into the center and place the strawberry and sponge cake over the whipped cream, and warp the dough around it.
Place the daifuku seam side down on a plate dusted with corn starch, and repeat with the rest of the ingredients.
