Notes
- This recipe is gluten free.
- There is no substitution for mochiko (sweet rice flour)
- Be sure to use canned coconut cream or canned coconut milk and not the carton variety.
- The baking time can vary from 50 minutes up to 75 minutes depending on your oven temperature. If the top starts to get too brown but the inside is not done, tent it with a large piece of foil to keep the top from burning.
- You can bake this recipe in two 8”x8” baking pans. The baking time will need to be shortened, check around 25 - 30 minutes for doneness and continue baking as needed.
- This recipe will make at least 24 servings and possibly more if you cut them smaller.
- Refer to the post for more troubleshooting and substitution tips.
