Ingredients Used to Make Banana Chocolate Mochi

**I've linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

Banana - any kind, preferably ripe

  • Glutinous Rice Flour - this goes by many names. You'll see Glutinous Rice Flour and Mochiko Flour (my favorite brand) in Asian grocery stores, and Sweet White Rice Flour in most other stores. ***Please note that regular white rice flour or brown rice flour is NOT the same thing as glutinous rice flour!!!

  • Mashed bananas - we're using bananas to replace both the sugar and liquids in this recipe so it's best if the bananas are ripe and soft. There are a few ways to tell if a banana is ripe, but usually ripe bananas are yellow with brown spots. The more brown spots, the riper the banana.
  • Cocoa powder - Cocoa powder is a rich and flavorful ingredient made by grinding cocoa beans into a fine powder. I used regular cocoa powder, but you can also use dark cocoa powder, like this one.

For the Filling I used

  • White bean paste (also called Shiro An) is a thick and smooth paste made from cooked white beans, such as butter beans or cannellini beans, that’s been pureed then cooked down with sugar. The sweetened white bean paste has a mild sweet flavor with subtle earthy notes. It has a creamy and almost fudgy texture that makes white bean paste a versatile ingredient for many East Asian dessert recipes. You can purchase shiron an in specialty Asian grocery stores, or on Amazon, here. For a homemade version, here's a Shortcut White Bean Paste Recipe I make when I’ve run out of Shiro An

Step by Step

How to Make Banana Chocolate Mochi in the Microwave

STEP 1

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi with Fresh Banana Filling - Banana Chocolate Mochi

Prepare the filling by wrapping sliced bananas (about 1 inch length) around 2 Tbsp of sweetened white bean paste (shiro-an).

STEP 2

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi with Fresh Banana Filling - Banana Chocolate Mochi

Try to wrap the banana so that you can tell which side is which. The circular end should go on the sides when we make the mochi. Repeat with the others. Set aside.

STEP 3

Homemade Banana Chocolate Mochi with Fresh Banana Filling - Banana Chocolate Mochi

Mix mashed bananas with glutinous rice flour and cocoa powder.

NOTE: The dough will be slightly on the thicker side because no additional water is added, but you can add more mashed bananas or a teaspoon of water if there are still dry ingredients remaining.

STEP 4

Cook the combined dough in the microwave for 90 seconds

STEP 5

Use a solid metal spoon to stir the cooked mochi mixture. Return to microwave and heat for additional 1 minute. You'll know when it is ready when the dough is glossy and slightly translucent

STEP 6

Pour the cooked mochi onto the baking pan lightly greased with oil, and flatten using the palm of your hands once it cools enough to handle.

The mochi dough will be HOT. Either use gloved hands, or wait until it cools enough to handle.

STEP 7

Wrap the mochi dough around the prepared filling, pinching the end of the dough with your fingers to seal.

How to Store Banana Chocolate Mochi

  • The mochi can be kept covered at room temperature for up to 24 hours and in the fridge for about 1 day. For longer storage, I would freeze the mochi in a plastic freezer bag or an airtight container, then defrost at room temperature when ready to eat.
  • The reason I don’t recommend storing them in the fridge for longer storage is that mochi usually tend to develop a weird waxy, hard texture when stored in the fridge. So eat within a day or freeze for best results.

Variations - Different Mochi Filling Options

If you want to enjoy mochi with a variety of fillings, there are many fun and delicious mochi filling options to choose from. Here are some ideas!

Vegan Ice Cream - ice cream is a terrific mochi filling idea and you can use dairy free ice cream like ones made with coconut milk to keep it vegan. To fill:

Prepare ice cream filling: place a scoop of ice cream into a piece of plastic clear wrap, and wrap the ice cream scoop with the plastic wrap, and freeze the pre-scooped ice cream until ready to use
