Ingredients Needed and Substitutions
Ingredients needed to make delicious chocolate cubes include:
Chocolate cheese filling:
Cream cheese: As the main cheese ingredient, it provides milky flavor and creamy taste.
Granulated sugar: increases sweetness and balances the acidity of the cheese.
Cocoa powder: adds rich chocolate flavor and color.
Chocolate Crunch Beads: Add a chocolate crunch and extra chocolate flavor.
Chocolate Mochi Skin:
Glutinous rice flour: provides stickiness and elasticity, making the mochi skin chewy.
Corn starch: increases toughness and improves the taste of mochi skin.
Cocoa powder: adds rich chocolate flavor and color.
Granulated sugar: increases sweetness and makes the mochi skin more delicious.
Milk: makes the batter smooth and provides milky flavor.
Butter: adds richness and softness.
Substitutes:
Cream cheese: cheesecake cream, yogurt or cottage cheese.
Granulated sugar: honey, maple syrup or brown sugar.
Cocoa powder: Chocolate powder or dark cocoa powder.
Chocolate Crunch Beads: Chopped chocolate, nuts, or other crunchy chocolate toppings.
Corn starch: potato starch, tapioca starch or wheat starch.
Butter: Vegetable oil, coconut oil or margarine.
Tips for Success
The secret to a smooth cheese paste: When mixing cream cheese, granulated sugar and cocoa powder, remember to stir patiently until it is completely smooth and free of particles, so that the chocolate cheese filling will have a more delicate taste.
Evenly distributed crunchy beads: When adding chocolate crunchy beads into the cheese paste, stir gently so that they can be evenly distributed in the cheese paste. You can have a crunchy surprise in every bite!
The consistency of glutinous rice paste is moderate: after mixing glutinous rice flour, corn starch, cocoa powder and fine sugar, add milk and stir into glutinous rice paste. Pay attention to the moderate consistency. If it is too thick, it will be difficult to steam, and if it is too thin, the taste will be bad.
Steaming temperature control: When steaming chocolate glutinous rice paste, use medium heat to avoid high heat that will cause a crust on the surface or undercook the inside. After steaming, let it cool slightly before taking it out to avoid collapse.
Butter enhances flavor and lubrication: Adding butter to the steamed glutinous rice paste not only makes the taste smoother, but also adds aroma. Remember to add it while it is hot and stir it thoroughly!
