Ingredients

• 1 cup sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup organic cane sugar
• 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (vegan)
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet rice flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and organic cane sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Add the full-fat coconut milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 5

Pour the mochi batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the vegan chocolate chips evenly over the surface of the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges start to pull away slightly from the sides of the dish.

Step 8

While the mochi is baking, prepare the workspace by dusting a clean surface with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.

Step 9

Once baked, allow the mochi to cool slightly in the baking dish for about 5 minutes, then transfer it onto the cocoa-powdered surface.

Step 10

Carefully cut the mochi into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife, dusting the knife with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Gently roll each piece in the cocoa powder to coat all sides.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
