Saved. I've never tasted mochi, but coconut is a real draw.

A simple and healthy recipe shared by you. Good job.

I lost this recipe which I used to make when my son was little. You can buy butter mochi in the store these days and there's a lot of recipes around but most of them use coconut milk and/or canned milk. This one uses neither which makes it simpler. I post it here for safekeeping.

Some folks might not consider the large amount of sugar as healthy but I guess a small piece won't kill you. :-)

Whoa! I just reveiwed the recipe!! That IS a lot of sugar! I thought
at first is was a kind of cake make with rice flour, but with that
much sugar it's be more like a cookie or brownie!

Eat sparingly and enjoy! YUM!!

As an alternate this will yield a more "traditional Japanese" mochi:

The recipe comes out looking like a cake but looks are deceiving. The
texture is nothing like a cake or brownie. It's chewy and a little gooey.

You might like the other recipes with the evaporated and/or coconut
milks better but this is my favorite. You can stir the flaked coconut
into the mix or sprinkle it on the top before baking for a festive look.
You could also get creative.

My guess is that most folks on the mainland have never baked up a batch
of mochi. I just don't want them to get their hopes up too high cause it
really looks like a tasty cake. :-)

I made a pan last night. This was the healthier version... I forgot to
add the sugar. Ha ha.
