Chocolate Tang Yuan
These Chocolate Tang Yuan feature soft and chewy glutinous rice balls filled with melted chocolate and served in warm milk. This chocolate variation is a delicious way to add a fun and unique twist to the traditional tang yuan.
Servings: balls
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups (200 gr) glutinous rice flour, more for dusting
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) warm water, more or less
- 24 cubes dark/milk chocolate
- 3 cups (750 ml) evaporated milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add glutinous rice flour. Add warm water little by little and mix with each addition. The dough will look dry at this time, but don't be tempted to add more water. Knead the dough until smooth and pliable. If it is too dry, you can add a bit more warm water. It should not be too wet either because it will not hold its shape.
- Dust your work surface with a little bit of glutinous rice flour. Transfer the dough onto the work surface. Divide the dough into 2 evenly. Shape each dough into a log. Cut and divide each log into 12 even pieces.
- Take one piece and shape into a ball. Make an indentation in the middle with your thumb to form a small bowl. Add a chocolate cube to the center. Stretch the side of the dough over the filling. Pinch to seal and roll the ball with your palms until smooth and round. Place the ball onto a tray that has been dusted with a little bit of glutinous rice flour. Repeat until 24 balls are made.
- Once you have shaped the balls, you can freeze them and cook them later. Or you can cook them immediately.
- In a medium pot, add evaporated milk. Heat on low-medium heat while stirring constantly until the milk begins to simmer. Turn off the heat. Set aside.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the balls and cook until they float to the top.
- In serving bowls, add chocolate tang yuan and warm evaporated milk. Enjoy!
