Instructions:

1. Preparing the Mochi Dough:
   1. In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, corn starch, sugar, and milk. Stir until well mixed.
   2. Add a drop of red velvet liquid for peach mochi OR 3g of purple potato powder for grape mochi. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.
   3. Sieve the mixture to ensure a smooth consistency.
   4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke tiny holes to allow steam to escape.
   5. Bring water to boil in a steamer and steam the mixture for 30 minutes.
   6. Once cooled, add butter and knead the mochi dough, pulling it hard to enhance its ductility.
2. Preparing the Creamy Filling:
   1. In a bowl, stir cream cheese until smooth.
   2. In a separate bowl, whisk the light cream with sugar until it thickens.
   3. Combine the whipped cream with the cream cheese and whisk until the consistency is yogurt-like. Transfer to a piping bag.
3. Assembling the Mochi:
   1. Dust a board with cooked glutinous rice flour. Cut the mochi dough into small, even pieces.
   2. Roll out each piece into a flat shape.
   3. Pipe the creamy filling into the center of each mochi piece. Add a dollop of peach jam for peach mochi OR grape jam for grape mochi.
   4. Add a small amount of plain jelly sauce.
   5. Fold and seal the mochi, cutting off any excess dough.
