coconut butter mochi

This is one of my favorite Japanese/Hawaiian hybrid desserts. Really now, have you ever seen a coconut in Japan?

The texture is somewhere between a very firm custard with the stick-to-your-fingers quality of mochi. I got this recipe from a friend who went to Punahou. No, it was not Barack Obama.

1 cup mochiko
1/2t vanilla
1 block of butter, melted
1 1/2t baking powder
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
Shredded coconut (optional, but highly recommended)

Mix everything together and pour into an 8 x 8 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
