Chocolate Cherry Mochi Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHERRY MARTINI

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the vodka, chocolate liqueur, cherry juice and lemon juice. Shake vigorously and strain into 2 martini glasses. Garnish with maraschino cherries.

CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY MARTINI

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Pour in chocolate and cherry vodkas, grenadine, creme de cacao, half-and-half, and chocolate syrup. Cover and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled martini glass, garnish with maraschino cherry and chocolate kiss, and serve.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY MICE

Steps:

• Put the maraschino cherries in a strainer and rinse well with cold water until it runs clear. Scatter the cherries on top of a few layers of paper towel to drain and dry thoroughly, patting dry if necessary. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt together the chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl set over a pan of slightly simmering water, stirring until uniform and completely melted. Remove the bowl from the heat.
• Holding a cherry by the stem, dip in the melted chocolate, rolling to coat completely. Allow excess chocolate to drain off before placing the cherry on its side on the parchment-lined baking sheet (the stem should stick out from the side rather than the top). Repeat with the remaining cherries and chocolate. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow to set.
• If the remaining chocolate mixture in the bowl has hardened, reheat over simmering water until melted again. Remove the chocolate-covered cherries from the refrigerator. Dip the flat end of a chocolate kiss into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drain off, and then place onto the end opposite the stem end of a cherry. While holding the kiss in place, add 2 almond slices between the cherry and kiss to form ears. Use a toothpick to add 2 small dots of melted chocolate to the kiss, to adhere 2 dragees for eyes. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator to set up for at least 15 minutes.

CHOCOLATE MOCHI RECIPE

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients, mochiko, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl. Melt margarine and chocolate chips together and combine with evaporated milk, vanilla extract and eggs. Mix well and stir any ingredients until it becomes a smooth batter. Then pour into greased 9x13 pan. Bake in 350 degree pre-heated oven. 45-55 min, cool, then serve. Do not refrigerate.

CHOCOLATE BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Sift mochiko, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips until smooth and creamy.
• Beat coconut milk, evaporated milk, and eggs together in a bowl. Add vanilla extract. Add chocolate-butter mixture and stir until incorporated. Add to the flour mixture slowly, whisking by hand until well incorporated and no lumps remain. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 55 minutes.
• Cool completely before cutting, about 1 hour. Cut with a plastic knife; mochi sticks to metal.

CHOCOLATE AND CHESTNUT MOCHI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine shiratamako, sugar, and water. Mix.
• Cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Let it sit for 1 minute, wrapped.
• Sprinkle your tabletop with enough potato starch to avoid sticking. Mix the mochi mixture and place on top of the starch.
• Using a rolling pin, stretch mochi out very thin (about ½ cm to 1 cm thickness).
• Set aside until it gets to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, syrup, and chocolate powder. Whip until small peaks form.
• Add the diced chestnuts and fold them into the cream.
• Slice the mochi sheet into 12 even pieces. Or depending on the cookie used for the base, make sure to have 2 cm to fold under.
• Place a spoonful of cream on the cookie.
• Place one sheet of mochi over the cream and fold under the cookie.
• Garnish with more cocoa powder.
• Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CHERRY MOCHI

Steps:

• Mix flour and sugar in a microwave safe bowl. (4 cup glass measure works well.).
• Add water and mix well.
• Add chocolate chips.
• Cover with a plate and microwave 2 minutes.
• Stir, replace cover and microwave an additional 2 minutes.
• Stir to mix well and get even and smooth consistency.
• Mix cocoa powder and starch together to use to dust balls. Dust your hands with it.
• Spoon out a walnut sized portion. Flatten it to a circle (thinnest at edges.).
• Place a little hazelnut spread and a cherry in the center and pinch up the bottom, sealing it well.
• Make sure there is enough powder/starch on the balls so they won't stick to each other or the serving dish. You can also put each mochi inside its own small cupcake liner, but you'll still need to make sure the bottom is dusted.
• Keep them covered so they won't dry out too soon. They get dry and harder after 4-5 days. Keep cool.
• You could also just put a piece of fruit (raspberry, strawberry, etc.) without the hazelnut paste, but they'd have to be eaten quickly.
• It's fun to make and would be good for older children/scouts/etc. to make, but it can get very messy! Good to do outside in the nice weather with kids.
