Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet rice flour (mochiko)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup nonfat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish lightly with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar. Stir until all dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Gradually add water into the dry mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps forming. Then add the nonfat milk and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the chocolate mochi batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Cover the dish tightly with foil to prevent the top from over-baking and drying out.
Bake for 30 minutes. The mochi should be set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely in the dish. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the mochi further.
Dust a cutting board generously with cornstarch. Carefully turn the mochi out onto the board and dust the top with more cornstarch.
Using a sharp knife, slice the mochi into 16 equal squares, dusting the knife with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy your low-fat chocolate mochi as a delightful treat!
