Instructions

1. You can use up to 2 1/4 cups sugar without increasing the volume of the liquid ingredients. It all depends on how sweet you want the Mochi to be.
2. Add one stick unsalted butter to a microwave safe bowl and melt in microwave for 30 seconds. Add sugar and mix until well combined. Add vanilla extract, then add eggs, one at a time. Mix until well incorporated. Add in Mochiko flour and baking powder, and continue to mix.
3. Combine evaporated milk and water in a separate bowl. Whisk to blend. Add to Mochiko mixture in 2 parts, mixing well between additions. Next add in coconut milk, whisking until well blended.
4. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 pan and bake for one hour at 350F. Promptly remove from oven, and let cool completely. To serve, cut into 1 x 2 bars.
