Are you looking for a delicious mochi recipe? This Chocolate Mochi is an easy and quick treat that harmoniously blends rich chocolate with Japanese mochi, requiring only 5 ingredients! Give it a try!
Preparation: Cut kiri mochi into small cubes and break the chocolate into small pieces.
Combine ingredients: Combine the cut kiri mochi, chopped chocolate, sugar, and soy milk in a small saucepan. Set the heat to low, allowing the ingredients to melt together gently. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes a stretchy, dough-like texture.
Dust: Sprinkle a cutting board with cocoa powder to prevent sticking and transfer the chocolate mochi on it. Flatten the dough and dust the top of the mochi with additional cocoa powder.
Shape: Cut the mochi into equal pieces and shape them into small, bite-sized balls. Dust some extra cocoa powder on the shaped chocolate mochi.
Notes
Mochi should be enjoyed with caution as a potential choking hazard, especially for the elderly and small children. Cut the mochi into small pieces and chew very well when eating.
Cutting the mochi into smaller pieces speeds up the melting process and makes blending seamlessly with other ingredients easier.
Stir the mixture continuously while heating. It will become thicker halfway through, but persist in stirring until thoroughly combined.
If it's difficult to stir, add some soy milk to make it easier to stir and get the right texture.
If the mochi dough is too hot or loose to shape, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes to settle down.
