Black Sesame Brochi® (Brownie Mochi)
Description
Black Sesame Brochi® (Brownie Mochi) is a baked mochi cake that features black sesame as the main flavor. Using glutinous rice flour (mochiko), eggs, and coconut and almond milks, the batter creates a textured but tender cake with chewy qualities characteristic of mochi. Coconut sugar provides sweetness and a hint of caramel while the black sesame powder imparts a nutty, toasty profile. Activated charcoal may be added to enhance the dark color.
The batter is poured into a parchment-lined pan, garnished with sesame seeds, and baked at 350°F until the top is slightly browned and a toothpick tests clean. After cooling, it is cut into squares and served at room temperature, offering a unique mochi dessert experience that is firmer and more cake-like than steamed mochi.
The black sesame seeds on top add subtle crunch contrasting the soft interior. This preparation is suitable for those who enjoy mochi textures but want a baked format with the earthy flavor of black sesame.
