What Is Butter Mochi?
Butter mochi is a baked Hawaiian dessert made with sweet rice flour (mochiko), coconut milk, butter, eggs, and sugar. Unlike traditional Japanese mochi, which is steamed and very dense, butter mochi is baked.
That baking process creates:
- A chewy center
- Golden, lightly crisp edges
- A rich, buttery finish
Butter mochi is naturally gluten-free because it uses sweet rice flour instead of wheat flour. It holds up well at room temperature, which makes it a popular choice for parties, gifting, and events.
Chi chi dango is softer and bouncier, closer to traditional mochi, and often served in small, colorful squares.
