Chocolate Strawberry Mochi(Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Ichigo Daifuku)
Strawberry Chocolate Mochi is a sweet, tangy strawberry swapped in a rich chocolate ganache and Cacao mochi layer. The classic flavor combination of strawberries and chocolate gets an Asian-inspired twist with the addition of mochi, taking it to the next level of indulgence.
Ingredients
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup coconut cream You can alternatively use solid part of coconut milk, see note*
- ½ cup mochiko
- 2 Tablespoons cacao powder
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup water
- 8 small strawberries
- Pinch salt
- Potato starch to dredge
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Make Ganache: In a medium bowl, add chocolate chips, coconut milk, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds and mix well. Microwave longer if necessary to melt them together, 10 seconds at a time. Transfer into the prepared pan and refrigerate until set, for 30-60min.
- Cut the chocolate into 8 parts. On a piece of plastic wrap, place a chocolate and a strawberry on top. Use plastic wrap to wrap the strawberry completely with chocolate. Refrigerate until set, for 10min.
- Make mochi: In another bowl, add mochiko and cacao powder. Gradually add maple syrup and water, and whisk until smooth. Microwave 1min and mix well with a spatula. Repeat 2-3 times until the dough is cooked through and becomes shiny. Let cool slightly until the dough becomes cool enough to touch.
- Spread the potato starch on a work surface and transfer the dough. Cover completely with the starch. Cut into 8 parts and roll into thin rounds.
- Assembly: Unwrap the chocolate-covered strawberry and place it upside down on the dough round. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together. Flip the mochi and place it on a serving plate.

Notes
*Refrigerate canned coconut milk overnight. Open the can and scoop out ¼ cup of the solid white part of coconut milk. Use the rest for other recipes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 1-2 days. Served best after placed on the counter for 30 minutes to soften the chocolate layer.
