Pumpkin Mochi Squares

Our second Hawaiian Fall dessert is a take on Mochi but with Pumpkin. Mochi is a Japanese dessert cake made with a sweet rice flour. A favorite in Hawaii, we especially love it because it is super easy to make and mildly sweet!  

INGREDIENTS

Dry Ingredients:
1 pound and 1/4 cup mochiko flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
 
Wet Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 can (29 ounces) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 blocks (1 cup) butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease 9x13 inch baking pan with non stick cooking spray. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In another bowl beat eggs together and add the rest of the wet ingredients. Combine wet ingredients together and mix well. Pour into pan and bake for 1 hour. Cool for 2-3 hours and cut into 24 squares with plastic knife to prevent sticking.
