Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 5 eggs
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1 cup sweetened, flaked coconut
• 1 pound mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 2.5 cups white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Whisk eggs, vanilla, and milk together in a medium bowl. Stir rice flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a separate larger bowl.

Step 3

Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until blend. Mix in melted butter and coconut. Pour into the prepared pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 1 hour. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack until mochi has set. The texture will improve as it cools. Use a sharp, greased knife to cut into squares.
