Butter mochi is a Hawaiian-style baked dessert made with mochiko sweet rice flour, butter, coconut milk, eggs, and sugar. Black Sesame folds toasted black sesame all the way through that base: nutty, faintly bitter, and deeply aromatic. Naturally gluten-free by ingredient, baked fresh in Boston, and shipped nationwide.

What it tastes like

Toasty and sophisticated, with the roasted-nut depth black sesame is loved for across Japanese and Hawaiian baking. The gentle bitterness plays against the buttery, chewy sweetness underneath, so it reads savory-sweet rather than sugary. This is the pick for people who say they do not like dessert very sweet. They finish the box anyway.

Our Story

About

The magic of butter mochi is texture. The mochiko flour creates a chewiness that's completely different from cakes, cookies, or brownies. Think of the best parts of a brownie edge, crossed with the satisfying chew of fresh butter mochi, crossed with the richness of pound cake.

At Pixlcat, we took this beloved staple and elevated it. We use real butter, premium coconut milk, and carefully sourced ingredients for each of our seven flavors — from ceremonial-grade Kyoto matcha to real Filipino ube and rich cocoa.
