Description
A delightful and indulgent mochi filled with silky chocolate ganache, combining a chewy exterior with a creamy center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 150g Glutinous Rice Flour (1 cup)
- 48g Granulated Sugar (¼ cup)
- 15g Cornstarch (2 tbsp)
- 15g Cocoa Powder (2 tbsp)
- 240ml Whole Milk (1 cup)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 225g Semi-Sweet Chocolate, roughly chopped (7.9 oz)
- 120ml Heavy Cream (½ cup)
- 30g Unsalted Butter (2 tbsp)
- 60g Cocoa Powder (½ cup) for assembly
Instructions
- Combine the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl.
- Add the whole milk and vegetable oil gradually, stirring until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe container and microwave for 1 minute; stir and repeat until cooked (about 2-3 minutes total).
- Dust a flat surface with cornstarch, pour the cooked mochi onto it, and shape it into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick.
- Allow the mochi to cool slightly, until it is safe to handle but still warm.
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering; pour over chopped chocolate and butter in a bowl and stir until smooth.
- Cut the mochi into small pieces, create indentations, and fill with chocolate ganache.
- Roll the filled mochi in cocoa powder for assembly, coating completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, choose organic unsweetened cocoa powder and sweet rice flour for the best texture.
