Coconut Mochi


This is definitely for the coconut lover!                                                                           
Quantities               Ingredients
1 stick
Unsalted butter
2 1/2 c.
Granulated sugar
4
Large eggs
19 oz. can
Coconut milk (I use Chaokoh brand) plus enough water to make 3 1/2 cups total
1 lb.
Glutinous rice flour (I use Mochiko brand, which comes in a 1 lb. box)

Sweetened/flaked coconut

Preparation Procedures:

1. Mix butter and sugar until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Add coconut milk & water mixture and rice flour. Mix until well blended, scraping sides and bottom of bowl to ensure none of the flour has settled and become stuck to bowl (glutinous flour has a tendency to do this).

2. Pour batter into 9x13” baking pan. Sprinkle top with shredded/flaked coconut and bake 1 hour.

3. Allow to cool before attempting to cut mochi. It’s best to wait until the next day before trying to cut it, as it is very sticky the first day.

Pan Size & Preparation Lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan.

Yield:  24 pieces

Preparation Time:  15 minutes

Oven Temperature:  Preheated 350 degrees

Test for Doneness You can stick a toothpick all the way through the mochi. It should be solid, cooked all the way through. The texture is sticky and chewy, and so the mochi may stick to the toothpick.
