Mochi
- 150g Glutinous rice flour (1 cup)
- 48g Granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
- 15g Cornstarch (2 tbsp)
- 15g Cocoa powder (2 tbsp)
- 240ml Whole milk (1 cup)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Milo filling
- 125g Milo powder (1 cup)
- 1 can (395g/14oz) Condensed milk
Assembly
Mochi
- Combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, and whisk to combine
- Pour the milk into the dry ingredients, and whisk until smooth
- Cover the mochi mixture with cling wrap and microwave for 2 minutes on high
- Uncover and stir
- Then re-cover and microwave for another 2 minutes, the mochi dough should be semi-translucent
- If the mochi is still slightly liquidy/milky re-cover it and microwave at 1-minute intervals until cooked through
- Allow the mochi to cool enough to handle
- Add the vegetable oil and using gloved or oiled hands knead until smooth
- Prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper
- Divide the mochi into 6 equal portions and place on the baking sheet.
Milo Filling
- Combine the milo and condensed milk in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until thickened
- You should be able to draw lines on the bottom of the pot with your spatula, and the lines shouldn’t disappear
- Remove from the heat, cover, and cool in the fridge for 1 hour
- Once the filling has cooled completely divide the filling into 6 equal balls
Assembly
- Put the milo in a shallow bowl
- Wearing food-safe gloves that have been oiled, or with well-oiled hands flatten a ball of mochi
- Place a ball of the filling in the center and pinch the sides of the mochi together into the center to seal
- Roll the assembled mochi in the milo
- Repeat until all the mochi and filling have been used
