Tips and tricks

1. All purpose flour WILL NOT work as a substitute in this recipe.
2. Be sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder.
3. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand you can make your own using 1 ½ cup milk with 1 ½ tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice.
4. If you only have salted butter, omit the added salt.
5. Beetroot can be used to color the batter if you would prefer not to use food coloring.
6. Gel food coloring helps prevent changing the consistency of the batter. You can use liquid food coloring, but you may need a larger amount.

Things to serve with mochi brownies?

An all time favorite is to make it ala mode by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Another great option would be to sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Can you freeze red velvet mochi brownies?

Although mochi brownies can be frozen, it often changes the texture of the brownies when defrosted. So I’d prefer not to.
