Instructions
Step 1
Start by rolling out the fondant until it's about **3-5 millimeters** thick. If the fondant is too sticky, use a light dusting of **cornstarch** to help with rolling. Make sure to keep working on a clean surface to maintain the texture.
Step 2
Using plungers or cookie cutters, carefully cut out snowflake shapes from the rolled fondant. The plungers can make this task much easier and provide a nice finish. Make sure to use the right size for your needs; I recommend checking out plungers with article number **1315766496** for best results.
Step 3
Allow the cut snowflakes to dry at **room temperature**. The drying time will depend on the thickness of the shapes and the humidity in your kitchen, but generally, they should be ready within **1 hour**. Ensure they are placed on a non-stick surface to avoid sticking.
Step 4
To attach the snowflakes to mochi, melt some chocolate until smooth. Before applying, check if the mochi has any condensation; if so, gently wipe it off to ensure a strong bond. Use a brush to coat the back of each snowflake with melted chocolate, then carefully place it on the mochi.
Step 5
Store the decorated snowflakes in an **airtight container** kept in a dark place at **room temperature**. They can last for up to **2 months** without losing their charm. Make sure to keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture for optimal preservation.
Servings
For an unforgettable winter gathering, why not center your dessert table around these mochi pieces? Add candles π―οΈ and fairy lights β¨ to create a cozy atmosphere, making your snowy treats the star of the show. Guests are bound to be amazed and delighted!
