What is butter mochi?
Butter mochi, similar to bibingka, is a mochi that is made with mochiko flour and butter and baked. This recipe takes a twist on the classic and makes it CHOCOLATE BUTTER MOCHI.
Ingredients for chocolate butter mochi
- 1 box (16 ounces) mochiko flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
What chocolate is best?
Unsweetened cacao powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips are the best types of chocolate to use. You do not want to use sweetened cocoa powder that is that often used to make chocolate milk as this may be too sweet. Same concept when using milk chocolate chips.
Can I substitute whole milk?
You sure can. If you want a lighter taste use 2%, 1%, or skim. You can also opt to use a dairy free milk of your choice.
Is this recipe gluten free?
Mochiko flour is naturally gluten free and so is this recipe.
How to store chocolate butter mochi?
Once cooled place in an airtight container and store at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.
You can refrigerate, but this may cause the mochi to dry out and harden.

Aloha,to you! I have a question about Mochi. My family & i can’t process the coconut milk. We are indigenous
Americans. What else could we use. I am already using Oatmilk for this recipe. I hope there is another way to make this for my family. The recipe i have was given to me years ago by a fellow hawaiian sister who has moved si ce then.
Sincerely, Tammy H.
Aloha Tammy. I have never made this recipe without the coconut milk. You can try a plant based milk alternative. The flavor will change and possibly the texture. If you give it a try let me know how it goes. Thanks.
Hi Relle,
I was wondering if I could cut down on the sugar? Like to half a cup or 1 cup would that change the consistency of the mochi?
Thank you,
Candice!
Aloha Candice. I have not tried that before. Not sure if it would change the consistency. If you try it, please let me know. Have a great day.
I tried this recipe tonight, and it was great! I am super excited to have this treat over the next couple of days. I used a little bit less sugar but it was great. Worked perfectly for making in a dorm.
Aloha Maddie. Happy to hear. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Hi, I was just wondering how long it would keep in an airtight container?
Thanks
Aloha. This will keep for a day or two in an air tight container at room temperature. Mahalo.
