Ube Brochi® (Purple Yam Brownie Mochi)
Description
This recipe for Ube Brochi® uses frozen grated ube mixed with egg, sugar, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, then combined with mochiko flour (glutinous rice flour). Baking the batter produces a dense, slightly chewy, and moist texture reminiscent of both brownies and mochi desserts. Covering the pan with foil partway through baking prevents over-browning while allowing it to cook evenly.
The final product has a rich purple color and a subtly sweet, earthy taste from the ube. It can be sliced into multiple servings, making it convenient for sharing or for multiple treats across several occasions.
Slicing after cooling helps maintain its shape, and the recipe notes that Brochi® is a registered trademark, suggesting a specific style of preparation and texture associated with this dessert.
Ingredients
- 180 g ube frozen, grated
- 1 egg large
- 50 g granulated cane sugar
- 125 ml coconut milk sub with whole milk or any non-dairy alternative
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- tiny pinch of sea salt
- 130 g Mochiko flour or glutinous rice flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C.

- Add in the mochiko (or glutinous rice flour) and whisk until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Give it a few taps to release any trapped bubbles.
- Bake at 350°F/177°C for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. (To prevent excessive browning, cover with aluminum foil about 10 minutes into the bake).

- Slice into 16 pieces and serve.
Notes
