- If you want to make this dessert ahead of time, it stores beautifully in the fridge for up to a week.
How to Serve
This Butter Mochi is delicious on its own, but here are some fun serving suggestions:
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a decadent dessert.
- Pair it with fresh tropical fruits like mango or pineapple for a refreshing contrast.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.
Make Ahead and Storage
If you’re like me and love to plan ahead, you’ll be happy to know that Butter Mochi can be made in advance! Here’s how to store it:
- Once cooled, cut the mochi into squares and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
