# Ingredients:

→ Mochi Dough

01 - 48g (1/4 cup) white sugar
02 - 240ml (1 cup) full-fat milk
03 - 15g (2 tbsp) cornstarch
04 - 15g (2 tbsp) unsweetened cocoa powder
05 - 1 tbsp neutral oil
06 - 150g (1 cup) sticky rice flour

→ For Coating

10 - 60g (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder

# Instructions:

01 - Mix heavy cream, butter, and chocolate together over low heat until melted. Stir into a smooth consistency, let cool, and then chill for 1-2 hours. Shape into 8 small spheres and refrigerate again.
02 - In a bowl that’s safe for the microwave, stir rice flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and sugar. Pour in milk and whisk to remove any lumps.
03 - Cover the mixture and heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Stir it, heat for another 2 minutes until it turns partially clear, then knead with oil until silky.
04 - Portion dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each piece, place a ganache ball in the center, and fold the dough around it, sealing the edges tightly.
05 - Carefully roll the sealed mochi pieces in cocoa powder until they’re fully covered.

# Notes:

01 - Enjoy within a day for the best flavor
02 - Store in the fridge
03 - Let it warm up a bit before eating—it’ll have a softer texture
