Our Verdict
A convenient, all-in-one way to make a pan of chewy ube butter mochi, with the coconut milk and ube extract already included. It's pricey compared with baking from scratch, but it takes the guesswork out of measuring and makes a nice gift for an ube fan. Bake it in a metal 9x13 pan for the best golden edges.
What We Liked
- A complete kit: the sweet rice flour mix comes with a can of coconut milk and ube extract, so you only add butter, milk, and eggs
- Gluten-free, made with sweet rice flour for the dense, chewy, custardy texture that Hawaiian-style butter mochi is known for
- Makes a full 9x13 pan, about 15 generous pieces, enough for a potluck or a big family
- Shelf-stable and ships nationwide, with video instructions included, so it's a good first try for anyone new to butter mochi
Drawbacks
- At $28.75, it costs much more than buying mochiko, coconut milk, and ube extract yourself and baking from scratch
- It's a small, home-based family bakery in Arizona with very few public reviews so far, so there's limited feedback to go on
- Very rich: the listing puts one piece at 685 calories, so you may want to cut it into smaller squares
