BUTTER MOCHI BY GENEVIEVE KO Watch Christopher Simpson for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Simon Andrews. Time2 hours, plus coolingRating4(2128)NotesRead 178 community notes Tender and chewy, this big-batch dessert — as comforting as cake and as fun as bar cookies — is always a hit at parties. Mochiko, sweet rice flour, not only gives it its distinctive marshmallow-like softness, but it also lends a natural sweetness. This version of butter mochi uses only coconut milk for its richness and subtle nutty taste, but you can substitute equivalent amounts of whole milk, evaporated milk or a combination of those liquids. Butter mochi develops a crackly top that stays crunchy the day it’s baked, making it a delicious dessert to eat without adornment. But, if you’d like more crunch, you can sprinkle dried shredded coconut evenly over the top before baking, or, for a tangy, colorful top, you can coat it with the passion fruit glaze below. (Watch the video of Genevieve Ko making butter mochi here.)

Step 1 Make the mochi: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. 2. Step 2 Whisk the mochiko, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Prepare the batter in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or whisk: Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and thick. Continue whisking while pouring in the coconut milk, then the butter and vanilla. Continue whisking while gradually adding the mochiko mixture. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth. Pour into the prepared pan, then tap it against the counter to get rid of any air bubbles. 3. Step 3 Bake until golden brown and crackly, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1½ hours. When you press the center, it should bounce back but not indent at all. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper to slide the cooled mochi out of the pan. 4. Step 4 The mochi is delicious plain, but you can add a glaze if you’d like: Mix the confectioners’ sugar with 2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp until smooth. It should be thick but drippy. If needed, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons pulp. If you’d like to create an ombré or sunset effect, scrape some into another bowl or multiple bowls and tint with food coloring. Spread the glaze evenly over the mochi, in stripes if you’d like, and let stand until set. 5. Step 5 Cut the mochi into squares or bars. Serve immediately, or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Tip * You can buy pure passion fruit purée from specialty markets and some grocery stores in the frozen fruit section. If you can’t find the fruit or purée, you can substitute passion fruit juice or nectar, but it will be much sweeter. To prepare passion fruit pulp from fresh fruit, halve 2 fruits and scrape the pulp into a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Warm by microwaving for 15 seconds or heating on low until loose and runny. Press through a sieve to extract the pulp from the seeds.

COOKING NOTES * All Notes (178) * Most Helpful (37) * Private (0) jill1 year ago Halved recipe, but with only 3/4 c sugar, added a tsp of coconut extract and un-toasted unsweetened shredded coconut on top and it is AMAZING!! Took 1 hr in an 8x8” metal pan. Covered it loosely with foil halfway thru to keep from getting too brown. Is this helpful? 145 Zalo1 year ago You can find seedless passion fruit pieces in the frozen section of Whole Foods Market. Is this helpful? 103 suzyk1 year ago I wonder whether there could be another fruit for the glaze? Is this helpful? 59 JM1 year ago I'm so happy to find this gluten free recipe that is easy and that I think everyone will love. I can't wait to make it and share it with family members who cannot have gluten. Is this helpful? 41 Matthew1 year ago I've made this twice, both times without the glaze. Delicious. Very customizable I believe. Popular with the family. My mother in law makes cassava bibingka for all family gatherings so the expectations were high. First time followed the recipe exactly. 2nd time I added juice and zest from one lemon. One lemon gives a hint of lemon flavor. Next time I will either increase the lemon juice and lemon zest or add lemon extract. My wife has requested a lime glaze Is this helpful? 38 Gordon1 year ago This is an incredible cake and people will be amazed. But this is an atomic bomb cake for diabetics as it is loaded with carbs. Even a small piece can have around 58 carbs. I miss it terribly. Is this helpful? 35 Maggie1 year ago Sure. Just about any tropical fruit -- mango, papaya, pineapple -- would be on theme. I love passion fruit, but would probably opt for lime, in its absence. Is this helpful? 32 Tender vittles1 year ago I have made this twice now- but the first time used Bob’s red mill “white rice flour” and the result was surprisingly similar to a vanilla poundcake baked with wheat flour. Just baked one this morning using “glutinous rice flour” from Thailand, and resulting cake is what I was first expecting- the bouncy gummy texture one finds in mochi items. Just as a mochi novice, wanted to share! P.s. I also halved this recipe with great results, same baking time, and subbed 1/2 whole milk with xtra butter Is this helpful? 27 marissa1 year ago I made a halved version of this last night using ghee instead of butter, and some frozen pineapple (microwaved and then blended) for the icing. With an 8x8 metal pan and half the volume, my cook time was about 1 hour (to fully dark golden). It ended up being a good way to finish off some pantry items (I had nearly enough mochiko so I added a couple tablespoons of tapioca starch to sub since it has a similar baking texture- it worked). It’s pretty hard to not eat the entire thing. Is this helpful? 22 An Li1 year ago Halved the recipe and only used 1/2 c sugar and it's amazing Is this helpful? 22 Prakash Nadkarni1 year ago RE: Passion-fruit alternatives: see foodiosity.com/passion-fruit-substitutes, Mango with a bit of lemon or lime works well (even citrus by itself, in a pinch). Is this helpful? 20 Varpu1 year ago Hello, any vegan bakers around? I would like to try the recipe with no eggs, substituting with either flax or chia "eggs". I am new to vegan baking (not a vegan myself) and wondering if 4 eggs is too many to replace successfully? Thoughts? Is this helpful? 19 Michele Sionas1 year ago Can I use Bob's Red Mill Sweet Rice Flour instead of Blu Star brand mochiko? Is this helpful? 18 Laura K1 year ago My first foray into the world of mochi! Oh man I think it’s the start of a beautiful friendship :) Made with lime glaze- juice and zest of 1 lime whisked into 1 cup of icing sugar. Truly divine! Is this helpful? 14 Staci1 year ago If trying to make this vegan, I would use unsweetened applesauce instead of flax. Flax will add an earthy flavor and extra chewiness probably making it chewier than it should be when paired with the mochiko. Is this helpful? 13 Shane1 year ago You are supposed to use the canned milk. It has much more fat than the kind in cartons. Is this helpful? 13 nyrkr1 year ago Made yesterday as written and it was a huge hit. Instead of food coloring, I used a little homemade blueberry syrup to color some of the glaze and achieved a beautiful ombré that looked just like the photo. Would make again in a heartbeat. Is this helpful? 12 Kalyn1 year ago Made this vegan and it was delicious! Substituted 8 Tbs of Just Egg (2 Tbs per egg) and used Earth Balance in place of regular butter. Fantastic texture and flavor! Is this helpful? 12 Lilikoi1 year ago No, no! It's meant to be light and fluffy. And only eat a little square of it. Is this helpful? 11 Shannon1 year ago Varpu, I’ve accidentally left eggs out of butter mochi before, and all it does is make the texture very, very mochi-y. Super sticky and chewy. The eggs are what give it the cakieness! You’re going to want to use an egg substitute that provides structure…Google what different egg substitutes lend to baked goods and experiment from there.
