Butter Mochi is a very popular treat in Hawaii, it’s made with Mochiko (Japanese Sweet Rice Flour) and a few other ingredients typically used to make cake. It’s the perfect example of modern day Hawaiian cuisine (local food) which is a fusion from multiple ethnic groups. Butter mochi has a satisfying chewy texture, it’s a slightly denser, chewier version of chichi dango mochi. Since I love using pumpkin in desserts, I wanted to make a pumpkin version of butter mochi for the fall – it’s a perfect holiday treat and one of the easiest desserts to make.

Butter mochi is quite sticky, so using a pizza cutter is surprisingly the easiest way to cut the mochi into squares.

- 2)
Line a 13in x 19in pan with parchment paper, pour the batter into the pan, tap the pan gently a few times on the counter, then run a fork on the surface of the batter to remove any air bubbles. Bake at 350°F for 70-75 minutes, the top should be golden, you can also bake a few minutes longer if you like extra crispy edges. Let the butter mochi cool to room temp in the pan (about 2-3 hours), lift it out of the pan and cut into squares on a cutting board. These are best the same day you make them, Enjoy!
