dear friend,

I deeply love all things mochi, and butter mochi is undoubtedly no exception. When my neighbor Yvonne surprised me with a generous bottle of lilikoi or passionfruit honey syrup, my mind immediately buzzed with ideas. One thought stood out among the rest - passionfruit butter mochi. The best part? This recipe is straightforward and nearly foolproof. All you’ll need is a reliable blender (mine is a refurbished Vitamix), the ingredients, and patience. After all, butter mochi takes around 60 minutes to bake and an additional hour to cool down. But I assure you, every minute spent waiting is well worth it.

Note: If you’d like to try another flavor, sub the passionfruit with an equal amount of ube halaya for ube butter mochi
