Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 pound mochiko (sweet rice flour)
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 can (12 Oz.) evaporated milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 can (14 Oz.) coconut milk

You’ll also need a medium mixing bowl, a baking tray, and some parchment paper. So, why do we specifically need mochiko and coconut milk? Mochiko is the ingredient that provides that unique, chewy texture to our mochi. Coconut milk, on the other hand, gives it that extra tropical kick, reminiscent of the breezy Hawaiian beaches.
