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 parchment paper
- Divide the mochi into 8 equal portions and place on the baking sheet.
Nutella Cream
- Combine the cream and Nutella in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it reaches stiff peaks
- Transfer the cream to a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle and place in the fridge until assembly
Assembly
- Put the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl
- Dust a ball of mochi in cocoa powder and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a circle
- Pipe a blob of Nutella cream in the center, and pipe a smaller dollop of Nutella on top
- Pinch the sides of the mochi together into the center to seal
- Roll the assembled mochi in the cocoa powder
- Repeat until all the leftover dough and filling have been used
