Butter mochi is a Hawaiian-style baked dessert made with mochiko sweet rice flour, butter, coconut milk, eggs, and sugar. Classic is ours at its purest: a golden, lightly caramelized top over a dense crumb that stays chewy and bouncy all the way through. It is naturally gluten-free by ingredient, baked fresh in small batches in Boston, and shipped nationwide in our signature pink box.

What it tastes like

Rich and buttery, with real coconut milk underneath. The edges bake up golden and lightly crisp while the inside stays chewy and bouncy. Dense like a pound cake, springy in a way no wheat crumb can be, and entirely its own thing. Classic is the foundation every other Pixlcat flavor builds on, and the piece we hand people first at the café.

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.
