  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake or steam (see "Cooking the mochi" section below) until the top of the ube layer has just set ~15 minutes.
  • Pour the coconut layer on top and continue to bake or steam for 30 minutes or until the mochi has completely set.
  • Let the mochi cool completely– either overnight or for at least 4 hours before remove it from the container and cutting.
