butter mochi
Chewy rice cake
Butter mochi is a Hawaiian dessert made from glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, eggs, and butter.
The texture is dense, chewy, and slightly sticky—more like a brownie than traditional Japanese mochi.
It's typically baked in a pan and cut into squares: She brought butter mochi to the potluck.
