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.
