Description

Hawaiian Butter Mochi is a chewy, sweet, and buttery dessert made with glutinous rice flour, coconut, and a rich custard-like batter. It’s a beloved treat with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sweetened, flaked coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mochiko, sugar, and baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  5. Fold in the sweetened flaked coconut.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat milk for the best richness and texture.
  • Let the mochi cool completely before cutting to avoid it sticking or breaking apart.
  • Optional: sprinkle extra coconut on top for added texture and flavor.
