Ube Brochi® (Purple Yam Brownie Mochi)
Ube Brochi® is a baked treat combining purple yam with mochi flour to create a dessert that blends the chewy texture of mochi with the sweet, earthy flavor of ube. Its brownie-like appearance and texture come from the mix of grated ube, egg, coconut milk, sugar, and mochiko flour, baked until firm yet tender.
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.
- Line an 8" by 8" baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the grated ube, egg, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.
- 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).
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
- Slice into 16 pieces and serve.
Notes
- Brochi® is a registered trademark, highlighting the distinct name for this purple yam mochi brownie.
