Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Glutinous Rice Flour: Essential for that signature chewy mochi texture; make sure it’s glutinous flour and not regular rice flour.
Cocoa Powder: Use high-quality cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor; Dutch-processed cocoa adds extra depth.
Granulated Sugar: Sweeten your brownies with good ol’ granulated sugar; it balances the chocolate’s bitterness perfectly.
Butter: Melted butter adds richness and moisture; I prefer unsalted butter so I can control the saltiness.
Eggs: Make sure they are at room temperature for better mixing; they help create that fudgy texture we all crave.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: Adds moisture and sweetness; it gives the mochi its unique chewiness.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla enhances the flavors beautifully; use pure extract if possible for best results.
Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips add bursts of melty goodness in every bite; don’t skimp on these!
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later. Trust me, parchment paper is like magic when it comes to brownies.
Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until well blended. The mixture should look like a rich chocolatey cloud ready to take flight.
Melt butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt unsalted butter gently until completely liquid. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly while you prepare the next steps.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs and add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy—this is where things start getting deliciously dangerous.
Combine mixtures: Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture while whisking continuously—this helps keep everything nice and emulsified. Slowly incorporate your dry ingredients until no streaks remain.
Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in those tempting chocolate chips using a spatula. Try not to eat them all before pouring into the pan—resist that urge!
Add mochi layer: In a separate bowl, combine remaining glutinous rice flour with water until you achieve a thick batter. Pour half of your brownie batter into the prepared pan first, then pour over this mochi mixture evenly before adding the rest of that glorious brownie batter on top.
Bake to perfection: Bake in preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay). The smell wafting through your kitchen will be unbearable—prepare yourself!
Cool and cut: Once out of the oven, allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Patience is key here as cutting too soon can lead to messy brownies—although taste-wise they’ll still be heavenly!
Serve up those delights: Plate up your Chocolate Mochi Brownies and watch them disappear faster than you can say “chef extraordinaire.” Enjoy with some ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra special treat.
Now you’re set to impress everyone around with these delightful treats! What’s even better? They’ll never guess how easy it was to whip up such culinary magic right in your kitchen!
