Butter Mochi Recipe, taken from Aloha Kitchen by Alana Kysar amzn.to/2NsFCbm:
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups skim milk
one 1-pound box Mochiko flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
one 13 1/2-oz can coconut milk
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
a few pinches flaky salt (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or oil.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and milk. In another larger bowl, whisk together the mochiko, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and, with a wooden spoon, stir until well combined. Add the melted butter and coconut milk and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and rap the pan on the counter a couple of times to bring any air bubbles up to the surface. Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the mixture, a handful at a time, being careful not to jiggle the pan too much, as you want the coconut to stay on the top. Then sprinkle on a few pinches of the flaky salt, if desired.
Bake until the mochi is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour. Set the pan on a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing into rectangles using a plastic knife to minimize sticking; I cut four columns and five rows to make twenty 2 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch pieces. If the knife seems to be sticking, rub it with a little unsalted butter or neutral oil. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tried this recipe last night and HOO BOY, this is AMAZING. I love mochi, sticky rice things, glutinous everything, so when I came across this recipe I was delighted. It's so gooood! Dense and chewy and buttery and coconutty. Hopefully the gluten-free friends that I made it for will also enjoy it! Thank you!

[@innocentspectator2678]

we had a visitor today! those pics in the cookbook were BEAUTIFUL...the cake, me on the beach, & a cocktail ahhhhh, now thats the life 😊

[@Top5Eateries]

Thank you for introducing us to Alana! This looked amazing I'm going to get that book.

[@Dutchess-bg4vh]

Followed your recipe last night (with less sugar & no salt) and it came out great. It reminds me of the local butter mochis that I had in Honolulu. Thanks for sharing. Aloha

[@tracym.4676]

Hi! I made this but I decreased the sugar by half cup and omg!!!! Amazing! My son preferred the dessert fresh and warm, I preferred it next day. Thanks for sharing!

[@SNguyener]

I tried this with oatmilk instead of skim milk and it turned out great. My family devoured it.

[@lisapila4054]

This butter mochi recipe was so good. Crispy edges and the coconut on top was crunchy after baking. Thank you!!

[@redwater2439]

Most collabs feel really awkward but this was nice to watch! I love the stories and tips you guys gave along the way!

[@GSCannon]

I made this recipe and the salt in batter & salt flakes on top took this Mochi recipe over the top! This is the recipe I will always use. Props to Alana, thank you sooo much.

[@TheMercymerz]

I've never had mochi but cant wait to make this! It looks very delish!

[@castrellakate]

I love the recipe! my butter mochi came out moist and soft and just perfect! i used glutinous rice flour since that was what i had and i reduced the sugar by half cup. mine baked for 40mins only so do test your oven ahead before baking like maybe go for 10mins first and take it from there ☺️

[@GSCannon]

Thank you for sharing your yummy butter Mochi one of my favs, I learned from my local friends in Kailua. I add salt to mine as well. I do the same with my coconut milk drink. Using a gal pitcher I use; 1 can coconut milk, 1 cup sugar more or less if preferred, little less than 1/2 tsp of salt I adjust mine to taste, fill with water mix well, chill and pour over ice it is truly delicious. The salt is the secret ingredient that takes this drink over the top.

[@user-nf7fi2qf9s]

Best butter mochi recipe, and trust me I tried many!

[@michyynicole7829]

I'm so excited to try this recipe I'm gonna make it this weekend 😊😊

[@xkraut8740]

Just made this today with almond/coconut vanilla unsweetened milk instead of skim....omg. Sooo good. Love the coconut on top - great touch. Thanks for the recipe!!

[@erinwalker6185]

I love coconut 🥥, I love the mild exotic sweetness.

[@alannao2535]

I will definitely do this recipe. I love mochi and this Hawaiian version sounds so yummy. Thanks for the hard work, looking forward to the next video.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

you're probably thinking of japanese mochi, this is not the same it's hawaiin mochi different recipe

[@SuperMir00]

Hello! Japanese/hawaiian person here. Butter mochi is not a “Hawaiian version” of mochi, exactly. It’s a Hawaiian dessert that includes the ingredients made for regular mochi. It’s like a mochi cake. But definitely one of my favorite desserts of all time. I exclude the coconut on top because I feel like it interferes with the lovely chewy texture.

[@CidYoung-REALTOR]

⁠@@SuperMir00 I don’t add flakes of died coconut either! I want it smooth - like butter- not a chewy topping.

[@thugghishruggishbone]

I made this and it was soooooo good but remember to be GENEROUS when greasing the pan or it will stick!

[@Iceofflower]

Made this yesterday, so tasty! Thanks for the recipe, I loved the video!

[@HopeHempstead]

Yes....I add salt as well, even though a recipe doesn't call for it and it always gave the dish a much better flavor.

[@MissTastyDoll]

I made this tonight and it was very delicious!! Great recipe. Easy to follow, but I couldn’t wait for it to cool down. Had to do a taste test ;)

[@KatAnejo]

HONEYSUCKLE I LOVE YOUUUU! I get so excited when I see a video uploaded!!! Recently I moved in with my husband and your videos have made it easier for me to cook for him:)! I’ll definitely give this recipe a shot! Btw, I saw you made a earl grey creme brûlée! I tried the recipe and it was soo good! I was wondering if you had any other earl grey desserts? Like a pie, scone or cake? Just asking for myself haha 😭❤️ thank you !!!

[@suzannelang8792]

Thank you so very much for the great recipe. It turned out fabulously. I only had a brownie pan, so I poured the extra batter into a “cupcake” pan that had little square shapes in it. I have sooo much crust to eat! 😃 I’m an Aussie who used to live in Kaneohe, and among so many Hawaiian dishes that have missed is butter mochi. I won’t even get started on my craving lau lau w chili water & poi, or watercress & fried ahi, & Zippy’s chili. Thank you for giving me back sone precious memories of a truly beautiful time in my life. Mahalo 🌈🌺

[@JovinasCreations]

I can't wait to make this! Thank you!

[@honeysuckle]

So easy!! Enjoy

[@sunhwachoe4646]

Thanks!! I will definitely try tomorrow :)

[@dms_25]

Yummm ... looks sooo delicious... 😋 I’ve been craving sweets these days also. Haha!

[@TracyD2]

I used to never add salt into anything. Now I learned how much more the ingredients and flavors stand out.

[@namr9118]

Finally another version of jimin mochi ..omg it looks so delicious definitely gonna try this💜

[@saysoun752]

Should had used this recipe instead of the one I used. I've made butter mochi before but forgot where I got the recipe from. The recipe I used used half of basically every ingredients but the entire box of the glutenous rice flour. When it was done baking, I knew immediately it wasn't going to be very good, and sadly, it wasn't. Good thing I also made cheesecake and cheese flan as those two never fail me.

[@LaVacheGoesMoo]

You should totally make a video on the guava cake :D

[@kellyh7158]

Just made this recipe last night and it turned it great! Thank you so much for sharing it! It tastes great, looks great and has a good amount of sweetness and mild coconut flavor. I highly recommend this recipe and definitely will be making it again some day. Thank you so much for sharing this! 👍🏼❤️😋

[@carloslanza2046]

Hey question, did you butter the pan before putting in the mix?

[@kellyh7158]

@@carloslanza2046 I don’t think I buttered the pan since they didn’t do that in the video but I honestly can’t remember. Sorry 😅

[@trysimmahdownk2060]

By far my keikis favorite desert holiday desert, I add some coconut flakes and sub the milk for coconut milk!! Mahalo from Big Island!! & YES salt is a must!!

[@laura_life83]

I can’t wait to make this! Please do a pancit video! 💜

[@MudChloe]

Omg i make this its so good.thank you😘😘😘

[@Pixlanta]

I used parchment paper, it works like a charm, great recipe

[@GossamerWaits]

Looks soooo good 😍

[@reneejkd]

Hawaiian approved!! This version looks so good! 🌺

[@d1shaidiva]

Yes, Aki’s had the best guava cake. Really miss it!!! “Elite’s bakery” in Union City on Dyer’s St also has good guava cake too. 😉 you should visit them too when you’re up here in the Bay Area again. Also try their latiya cake 🤤.

[@honeysuckle]

Yay!!! If I’m in the area I’ll have to check it out!! Thanks

[@d1shaidiva]

Omg I’ve never heard of this, but it sounds SO good!!

[@CidYoung-REALTOR]

It is! People gobbled it up !

[@olesiasunatori6575]

Finally made it! Never tried the real thing though. It turned out a bit too fat because I used regular milk, but it's delicious! Thank you for the recipe 🤗

[@blarshe]

Yasssss butter mochi! I've been thinking of it since you made it for 4th July. Thank you!

[@CidYoung-REALTOR]

I’m making it for the 4th of July to bring to a party. I asked my friend to pick up a box of Mochiko sweet rice flour, but instead she brought me home some gluten -free Bob’s Red Mill rice flour. I hope it turns out okay. ( I even texted her a photo of the dern box. Sheeze!)

[@blarshe]

@@CidYoung-REALTOR keep us posted!

[@kaylowwf.i1946]

Butter mochi is soooo good! Especially served with vanilla ice cream lol

[@cindywong7589]

Thank you for this, love you too together. I made this and this js my favorite dessert!

[@zoe8701]

I just made this in the microwave... and it was a long 5 minutes.... but turned out so good!

[@CowboyBebop444]

Awesomeness

[@VerStarr]

just baked this today!!! Saw @alana watched my fiancee and I on my IG story

[@KeepingItRelle]

Love me some good butter mochi. Maui in the house!

[@vmchen]

I love this recipe and keep coming back to it. The easiest thing to cut it with is a pizza cutter! Easy peasy!

[@emelemonlime]

aughhh that looks so yummy

[@MyChilepepper]

Thank you for sharing. I finally tried this but halved the recipe however I skipped the sugar instead I replaced it with half a can of salted caramel frosting since I didn’t have enough sugar. It’s really good. Definitely making it again soon.

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

I made butter mochi twice this year and brought some to my family and work but only like 5 people would try one so I ended up eating like 40 slices by myself haha :D I used the AllRecipies version and yeah they don't put salt or use coconut milk, which I ended up doing the second time I made them. Great minds think alike! I know this will be an amazing recipe to have.

[@SuperMir00]

Wait there are versions that don’t use coconut milk?! What a travesty. Coconut milk is a must

[@CidYoung-REALTOR]

Their loss for not trying it!

[@janellamoala-langi4203]

I love butter mochi!

[@shaleenacampbell931]

I just made this and it is DELICIOUS! I substituted with sweetened coconut flakes, salted butter, and oat milk. Ima sweets typa girl so the extra sweetness from the coconut flakes is amazing. This recipe is better than butter mochi squares I've brought in bakeries,

[@skvarea5788]

I have to make this!!!!!!🤤🤤❤️

[@srainy]

i love this stuff! i'm not even from hawaii or usa, but i once saw a video recipe for chocolate mochi cake, tried to make it and i've been turned ever since. i love ALL types of mochi cake! i hope you do different flavours of it too. this type of texture hits me at the right spot as it's similar to a lot of east/southeast asian desserts :D

[@sophannasieng335]

For the guava concentrate try looking at the Mexican grocery store. I found some for my pastries

[@kimdebs1577]

It looks delicious! I will try. I made Hawaiian chicken wings for my block party this weekend. They were a hit!

[@honeysuckle]

Yummmmm! Sounds so fun!

[@SuperMir00]

I learned a great butter mochi recipe from the Hawaiian side of my family as well. We exclude the coconut on top though, and I prefer it that way because I like the chewy texture without any crunch. Either way looks like a good recipe!

[@K1k05]

😊Hawaiian Butter Mochi, how cool and different (I like the addition of coconut milk). I'm sitting here eating Japanese Ice cream Mochi (Mango) while watching this...lol 🙏

[@honeysuckle]

Mmmmm!! I love mochi ice cream!! 💗

[@sandobi1]

Can you share where you got your cake pan? I love it, so cute!

[@ThinkInk1604]

Perfect to make for my son who is gluten intollerant. 👍🏻

[@isebabyy4480]

My mom has been missing butter mochi so much so I’m actually going to try to make this recipe for her as part of of her Christmas gift

[@ruanmeissadcreatures]

literally got this recommended right after i watched the latest about to eat video

OMJ jus made this except traded the white sugar, for real maple syrup, make it a lil vegan/healthier ❤️💛💚 thanks for the great recipe an beautiful channel, love the recipes I’ve made from ur videos, truly thanks really appreciate it! Always sending unconditional love an good vibes queen ❤️💛💚👑💚💛❤️ bless up

[@monicadiep882]

Is this the same thing as casava cake basically?

[@stunninglyenchanting5293]

Thank you for sharing this.. can I add some red bean paste?

[@colleenha1559]

Can u substitute coconut milk with something else? Evaporated milk? Condensed milk?

[@mr1982freeze]

Looks a lot like egg pie......which is super delicious

[@captainEmery]

Sweetened coconut is great. The sugars crystallize on top ant you get a little crunch.

[@amyliawonglh]

Love to get Alanna cookbook but I’m from Malaysia. Wonder where I can buy it

Yummy I’ll make some later . Great home stay snacks ❤️

Can I replace 🥥 milk with something else? I'm out and really want to make it. And I want to add passion fruit preserves somehow

[@jonbaum]

I'm going to try this this weekend. I lived in Japan for a long time and I love mochi. I'm really interested to see what this multicultural fusion version tastes like.

[@SuperMir00]

Butter mochi is my favorite use of mochi flour for sure! It’s divine

[@Critique808]

I like your kitchen. Lol

[@ukelilly]

Hi. Can I freeze / defrost these ? It's only me & my hubby and I din't want to finish it all too soon. Not good for my blood sugar

[@Felix_26_]

Can you please share a written recipe? I would love to try them out. 😍 E.g. the amount of skimmed milk is not mentioned :( Have a nice day🌞🙂

I think this is to advertise her book if you want the full recipe

[@honeysuckle]

The recipe has been added to the description! xoxo

[@LittleHikari1]

Thanks! I tried to look up other recipes but they didnt look as nice texture as this one. I'll have to see if I can find that flour. Custard desserts are my favourite!

[@jonbaum]

Hi. I made this today. It’s very good but tastes a little bit eggy. Would it be a good idea not to use so many eggs?

[@VioletnIndigo]

Should the coconut milk be unsweetened or sweetened?

[@giseleyeh1965]

This is a great recipe!! My family loves it!! One question here, if I have to bake it in a smaller oven with smaller baking pan (two-third). Should I decrease the baking time?? Thanks to anyone that could help here!!

[@CidYoung-REALTOR]

Watch until it turns golden brown on top.

[@Sunshineindarkestofdays]

looks so good! Do you refrigerate the leftover or how do you store it to keep it fresh

[@abcbuhay-castro3004]

Could I cook them as a cupcakes?

[@GuidedWithLight]

I really want to make this but I’m concerned about the 2 cups of sugar in it. Is there a way I can make it with only 3/4 cup of sugar? Or 1/2 cup sugar and some stevia? Perhaps I could reduce some of the liquid to make it work?

[@janekovlim1331]

I baked this yesterday and only put 1/2 cup of sugar and it came out perfectly sweet enough

Thanks for the recipe. Haven't done this before and this seems easy to make. I wonder if i can make one without salt and instead of shredded coconut on top, I'll put cheese. 😅

How do i preserve it for a bit longer? Should i put it in the fridge and just microwave it when i want to eat it again? Or should i freeze it?
