A dairy free Butter Mochi flavored with Lanka (Jackfruit). 

Lanka (Jackfruit) Jam

This Butter Mochi has two parts.  You need to make a Lanka Jam first. It’s used as the main flavoring agent in the mochi. No artificial flavorings here, but it is an extra worth it step.

Lanka Jam | Jackfruit Jam
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1 1/2 Cup Diced Lanka
1 Cup Water
1/4 Cup @justdatesyrup
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Throw the lanka and water in a sauce pan and boil at medium heat until the lanka starts to break down and get thick and jammy. Add more or less of the date syrup depending on how sweet you want the jam. At this stage it will still be stringy so run it through the food processor to get it nice and smooth. Let it cool. Place about 4 tablespoons in a separate cup as you will use this reserved jam to swirl.

Let’s Make Butter Mochi

1 16oz box of @koda_farms Mochiko Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt

Mix that in to the wet mixture until no lumps appear and pour in a greased 9×13 baking pan. Dot the reserved Lanka Jam throughout the batter and then use a tip of a knife to swirl through.

Note this recipe is party size. It makes about 30ish squares of butter mochi depending on how you cut it. You can also replace the lanka with other fruit or jam. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
