- 8. Continue to heat over low to medium heat, stir fry continuously until the water has dried up and the flesh is sticky and clumpy, then turn off the heat;
- 9. After the fruit pulp is completely cooled, remove it and put it in the refrigerator for freezing (not refrigeration);
- 10. After freezing until hard, divide the filling into small balls, roll them round, and continue to freeze and store. The weight of each ball is approximately 17g.
