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.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. 
  2. Prepare a 8" by 8" square baking container by lining it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, add the eggs, coconut milk, almond milk, coconut sugar (or sweetener), vanilla and beat with a whisk until slightly frothy.
  4. Add in the black sesame powder, glutinous rice flour (mochiko), charcoal powder (if using), and baking powder.

  6. 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.
  7. Gently tap the baking container a few times on the table to release any trapped air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350°F/177°C or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Top will be slightly brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool over a cooling rack.

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.
