Black Sesame Brochi® (Brownie Mochi)
Black Sesame Brochi® combines glutinous rice flour with black sesame powder and sweetened coconut and almond milks to create a chewy, brownie-like mochi cake. Eggs provide structure and coconut sugar adds caramel notes, while optional charcoal powder deepens color. The cake is baked until set with a lightly crisped top, and topped with sesame seeds for texture.
Ingredients
- 2 egg large
- 114 ml coconut milk canned, full-fat
- 125 ml almond milk or milk of your choice
- 80 g coconut sugar or sweetener of your choice: eg. honey, date syrup
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- 30 g black sesame powder or ¼ C roasted black sesame seeds, finely ground
- 227 g glutinous rice flour aka mochiko
- 1 tablespoon activated charcoal optional, black
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
- Prepare a 8" by 8" square baking container by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, coconut milk, almond milk, coconut sugar (or sweetener), vanilla and beat with a whisk until slightly frothy.
- Add in the black sesame powder, glutinous rice flour (mochiko), charcoal powder (if using), and baking powder.
- Give the mixture a stir with a spatula until everything is incorporated.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking container and smooth out the top. Add some black sesame seeds as a garnish on top if you wish.
- Gently tap the baking container a few times on the table to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350°F/177°C or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Top will be slightly brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool over a cooling rack.
- Cut into squares using a sharp serrated knife and serve at room temperature.
- Black sesame mochi may be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Brochi® is a registered trademark, indicating a specific style of baked mochi cake.
- Use full-fat canned coconut milk for the best texture and flavor in the batter.
- Baking until a toothpick inserted comes out clean ensures the cake is cooked through but retains a moist interior.
- This mochi is served at room temperature and cut into squares with a serrated knife for clean edges.
