Description

Soft and chewy chocolate mochi dumplings with a rich molten chocolate center, inspired by restaurant-style desserts and easy to make at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 100 grams dark chocolate pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare your steamer or microwave-safe dish so it is ready to use.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and milk, then whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Lightly grease a heat-safe dish and pour the mixture evenly into it.
  4. Cook the mixture by steaming or microwaving until it thickens into a soft dough.
  5. While still warm, mix in the unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
  6. Allow the dough to cool slightly, then divide it into equal portions.
  7. Flatten each portion, place a piece of dark chocolate in the center, and seal the dough around it carefully.
  8. Lightly dust each dumpling with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
  9. Serve warm for a gooey center or let cool for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Dust your hands and surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
  • Do not overcook the dough to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
