Let’s make Yuzu Butter Mochi using the Trader Joe’s Mochi Cake Mix + Trader Joe’s Yuzu Ice Cream – the batter is super simple to mix up and you end up with butter mochi that is satisfyingly chewy & bouncy. I love the textural difference between the soft, chewy centers with the crisp edges (edges only stay crisp on the day you make them, the next day the edges get softer) You can also swap out the yuzu ice cream for any other ice cream flavor.

Butter Mochi is a very popular treat in Hawaii, it’s made with Mochiko (Japanese Sweet Rice Flour) and a few other ingredients typically used to make cake. It’s the perfect example of modern day Hawaiian cuisine (local food) which is a fusion from multiple ethnic groups.
