Directions
Coffee Lava Filling:
Melt Chocolate: Combine instant coffee liquid, chocolate chips, and heavy cream in a bowl. Melt the mixture over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature, then transfer to a piping bag.
Coffee Mochi:
Prepare Mochi Dough: In a clean bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar, milk, and coffee powder. In a non-stick pan, combine the mixture with unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until a thick dough forms.
Knead Dough: Dust a surface with cooked glutinous rice flour. With gloves on, knead the dough until stretchy. Divide into 8 equal pieces and roll into flat, round shapes.
Whipped Cream Filling:
Whip Cream: Whip heavy cream, coffee powder, and sugar together until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag.
Assembly:
Layer Filling: On each flattened mochi dough, pipe a ring of whipped cream along the edge. Fill the center with coffee lava filling, then cover with another layer of whipped cream.
Wrap Mochi: Carefully wrap the mochi, ensuring the fillings are enclosed. Place each mochi in a cupcake liner. For best texture, cool in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Note
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients, especially heavy cream, are cold for easier whipping.
- Melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing. A double boiler provides more control, but a microwave can work in short intervals.
- Kneading the dough while it's still warm makes it easier to work with. Dusting with glutinous rice flour prevents sticking.
- Chill the mochi briefly to set the fillings, making the mochi easier to handle and enhancing the texture contrast between the soft mochi, creamy filling, and gooey lava center.
