Woohoo! Thanks so much for taking time to review and also give your recipe adjustments. Cream is never a bad idea.

I just made this last night and it was so delicious!! It was one of those desserts that I shared with friends and family but afterwords wished I had just kept it all for myself haha. I used stokes purple sweet potatoes and the color was super vibrant. I didn’t have quite enough coconut milk so I substituted a mix of cream and almond milk for the last few ounces of liquid and the mochi still came out perfectly. I baked mine an extra 10 or 15 minutes because I love my butter mochi with browned edges!

Hi Randy, thanks for the tip about the Instant Pot! For 9×13 bake time, sometimes mine has been done as early as 45 minutes but I would not be surprised if it did take up to an hour.

If I’m doubling the recipe to fit a 9×13 pan, how long is the bake time? I’m thinking about 60-70 minutes at 350°F- any guidelines? Also, I say one of the best ways to cook Okinawan sweet potatoes is to cut them into large chunks (2-inch+ thick pieces), unskinned, and then use an Instant Pot. Place cut pieces on a trivet, add a cup or so of water, and cook at high pressure for 25-30 minutes. When done, quick-release, remove the trivet, place the sweet potatoes on a cutting board, and using a fork or spoon, slip the skins off while still hot. The sweet potatoes come out a deep purple and soft…

I think I added too much mochiko because it was a pretty thick batter, and turned out not as gooey as I typically like my mochi, BUUUTTTT, it still turned out great, and I need someone to share this with before I eat the whole pan. Mahalos!

I love this recipe. I add 50% more purple sweet potato to make this a tad bit healthier, but the recipe is great as is too!

I agree, steaming definitely has great results! Microwave is great for convenience and those who don’t have a full kitchen.

I find that steaming the sweet potatoes a much better alternative, just peel sliced and 1/2 inch pieces and steam for 5 minutes. So simple. I did this with some broccoli and cauliflower for dinner 😇🙏💕
