Combine 150ml of single cream and the Ganache Filling Mix in a saucepan until smooth.
Heat gently whilst stirring continuously, until thick and glossy. Remove pan from heat, add the Dark Chocolate Chips, and stir until fully melted. Pour into a small bowl and then place in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes.
In a medium sized heatproof bowl, combine the Mochi Mix and 200ml of water, then cover with an upturned heatproof plate. Cook in the microwave for one minute, and then using a wet spoon, stir well until smooth. Return to the microwave for 30 seconds and stir well again. The mixture will darken in colour around the edge of the bowl and become thick and sticky, don’t worry, this is normal. Stir well again and repeat in 30 second increments for 2 - 3 more times depending on your microwave wattage. When ready, the dough will be stiff and gummy. Set aside for five minutes to cool slightly.
Using the Chocolate Dusting Mix, dust your worktop and hands well, transfer the mochi dough onto the worktop and dust well again - this will make the dough less sticky, helping you handle it with ease.
Roll into a log shape and cut into 20 equal pieces. Shape into evenly sized balls and set aside before lightly dusting again.
Taking one at a time, flatten the balls into an approx. 9cm disc and use your fingers to gently pat out the edges.
Place ½ teaspoon of the chilled ganache onto the centre of the disc.
Pull two opposite edges of the disc over the ganache and pinch together.
Continue to pull the remaining edges of the disc together to cover the ganache completely.
Ensure the centre is fully sealed and lightly roll the Mochi in the dusting flour, then set it down on the sealed side and repeat with the remaining dough and ganache.
Store in an airtight container and enjoy within 24 hours.
