For fun I almost completely veganized this recipe and it came out SO well. My husband couldn't tell the difference. I used Earth Balance butter, ground flax seeds instead of eggs, lite coconut milk, and 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup agave syrup instead of the 2 cups of sugar. I did use the evaporated milk because I didn't find a vegan replacement, though.
Will absolutely make this again!!!

I halved the recipe and baked in an 8x8 Pyrex pan. I used 2 eggs (1.5 eggs is just too bothersome) and 3/4 cup of sugar (already plenty sweet, no need for more). I stuck with the recipe otherwise. The taste was very good. However, it was more fluffy and less chewy than I would like (not sure how to fix this, may be less baking powder or beat the batter more?). The coconut flavor really came out (so don't use coconut milk if you don't want the coconut flavor). For me, the best part is the crispy surface so next time I might bake in a larger dish to get thinner pieces.

I made this tonight (and posted a picture) and it is DELICIOUS!!! I made the recipe exactly as is with 2 cups of sugar, cinnamon and unsalted sweet cream butter. I couldn't stand to wait for it to cool completely and cut into it after 45 minutes and it was melt-in-your-mouth ooey sticky goodness! I can't wait to make it again for the next island friends BBQs!

This was the easiest recipe and it is soooo yummy! Reminds me of when I was a kid in Hawaii! Thanks for sharing. Note: I only used 2 cups of sugar and it still turned out sweet, so if you are wondering if you can use less sugar, the answer is yes and it didn't change the consistency either! Try it, and you will love it....my kids did too!

Love this recipe! It was my first time making it and I halved the recipe. I also did not have coconut milk so I used a whole can of fat free evaporated milk instead of 1/2 can coconut milk and 1/2 can ev. milk. The crust is so crispy! I love the taste too!

This is SOOO good!! I've never had butter mochi before, but I love mochi so I figured I'd love this. I halved the sugar and it was just right for me since I also dusted it with powdered sugar. I also omitted the cinnamon.I will definitly make this again and again. Thanks for posting!!

I enjoyed this both warm and cooled. My boyfriend thought it tasted too sweet when warm, and there is a lot of sugar in the recipe-probably more than necessary. It doesn't have to be completely cooled before cutting, and in fact it's excellent warm with some fresh ripe mango.
