Gluten-Free Mochi Brownies
Adapted from one of our favorite blogs, Cooking Therapy, these delicious mochi brownies use our Dash of Salt Drinking Chocolate crumbles in place of standard dark chocolate to make a gooey, decadent ganache that’s packed with cacao. Read on for the full recipe.
We used Mochiko sweet rice flower to achieve the perfect chewy texture. As a sweet bonus, these brownies are gluten free!
The brown butter lends a deep, nutty flavor to the recipe. Make sure to use unsalted butter, since the brownies are finished with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
Crumbling extra Drinking Chocolate on top of the brownie batter before baking creates a beautiful natural texture, and adds even more richness.
We hope you enjoy making—and eating!—these brownies as much as we did. They’re the perfect addition to a holiday party, bake sale, or even just your night in with Netflix. After the year we’ve been through, we could all use a little indulgence.
