Add ube halaya jam to a classic Hawaiian butter mochi to make ube butter mochi! This butter mochi is so easy to make – just mix all ingredients together and bake.
I have a lot of butter mochi recipes on this blog, but this ube butter mochi is one of my most popular among my friends. My friends from Hawai’i even asked me for the recipe, so I feel pretty confident about sharing this one with you.
Actually, I developed this recipe at the request of another friend who recently came back from vacation in Hawai’i and said she had the best ube butter mochi there. So for those of us not fortunate enough to live in Hawai’i, this one’s for you!

Butter mochi is essentially a mochi snack cake from Hawai’i. No one really seems to know for sure who invented it.

Butter mochi is chewy, dense, and so so good.
