Scale
Ganache
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup double/heavy cream
Chocolate Mochi
- 2/3 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- For the Ganache: Place the ganache ingredients in a microwave-friendly bowl. Microwave it in 30-second blasts, stirring in between, until everything is melted and a smooth sauce is formed. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours until it solidifies.
- For the Chocolate Mochi: Place the flour, cocoa, and sugar in a microwave-friendly bowl and stir well.
- While whisking, slowly add the milk until the mixture is smooth and without lumps.
- Zap the contents for 30-second stints (no more than 2 minutes) until the mixture is warm and pliable.
- Whisk out any lumps and add butter to the mixture until it’s well incorporated. Reheat the contents in the microwave again for 3 minutes.
- Knead the mochi until smooth and pliable. Let it cool to room temperature.
- When the ganache is ready, divide the mochi and ganache into 16 portions.
- Flatten each portion into an even 5cm (2-inch) disk, then fill with ganache. Wrap the mochi around the ganache and seal by pressing the seams together.
- Roll the ball in cocoa powder and tweak the shape as needed. Repeat another 15 times. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- We have attempted making the ganache with 70% dark chocolate. It’s doable but the ganache is a lot harder in consistency, making it harder to work with, even at room temperature.
- Another name for glutinous rice flour is mochi flour.
