Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) sweet rice flour (mochiko)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) water
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) cornstarch (for dusting)
  • 6 oz (170 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended), chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries, mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Chop 6 oz (170 g) of dark chocolate finely. In a small saucepan, warm 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream over low heat until just simmering. Remove from heat, pour over the chocolate, and let sit for 1 minute.
  2. Stir the chocolate and cream gently until fully melted and combined. Add 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is glossy and elastic. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (120 g) sweet rice flour and 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar. Gradually stir in 3/4 cup (180 ml) water until smooth and lump-free.
  4. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir quickly with a wet spatula. Repeat microwaving in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until the dough becomes translucent and sticky—about 3 minutes total.
  5. Dust your work surface with cornstarch. Transfer the hot mochi dough onto it. Dust your hands with cornstarch and gently knead the dough until smooth, adding more cornstarch as needed to prevent sticking.
  6. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a round disc about 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide.
  7. Place about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the cooled chocolate center in the middle of each mochi disc. Pinch the edges tightly to seal, forming a ball. Make sure no chocolate peeks out to avoid leaking during steaming.
  8. Arrange the mochi balls in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or lightly dusted with cornstarch. Steam over boiling water, covered, for 8-10 minutes until the mochi is soft, shiny, and slightly puffed.
  9. Remove from steamer carefully and let the mochi lava cakes cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh berries or mint if desired.

Notes

Let the chocolate center cool until thick but pliable before filling to prevent leaking. Dust hands and work surface with cornstarch to handle sticky mochi dough. Steam mochi balls gently to keep texture soft and stretchy. Reheat by steaming or microwaving briefly to revive stretchiness. Baking alternative available but changes texture.
