Author Notes
Many picnic baskets are packed with portable and oh-so-tasty brownies for dessert. Perhaps more popular in Hawaii is the beloved Hawaiian-Japanese confection known as mochi. You may be familiar with the Japanese sweet of sticky rice balls sometimes filled with sweet red bean paste. In Hawaii, sweet rice flour has found its way into many other recipes, including a cake-like temptation known as butter mochi. In honor of the too-short mango season, I have made a coconut milk enriched version of mochi topped with mango. It will remind you of the Thai dessert of mango and sticky rice, or perhaps of a fruity blondie. —Beautiful, Memorable Food
