Two worlds together: brownie and the amazing mochi texture. This Chocolate Mochi Brownie is worth every single bite!
After the Coconut Hawaiian Cake, I came across this chocolate version… and I had to try. Look so good, so, here I am.
The surface remembers a lot the usual brownie visual, the flakey top. And if you’re familiar with mochi already know how the texture is.
If not, I’ll describe as… bouncy. Or in Japanese: mochi-mochi. It has a very particular texture.
Glutinous Rice Flour
The rice name can be a little confusing, but I assure you: it’s gluten-free (as rice is). The “glutinous” refers to the texture and not to gluten.
You can find it on Asian grocery stores and have some different names: sweet rice, sticky rice, glutinous rice, mochiko rice, rice for mochi, Japanese rice.
I always recommend using weight and volume measurements when present. The measurements in cups/spoons are just courtesy of the system and are less accurate.

Chocolate: small pieces, if it’s too big will sink to the bottom
hi! would it be possible to make a larger batch of twice the size in a bigger pan? or would the middle not be able to cook properly?
Exactly. The middle won’t cook properly!
