TINY GRANDMA'S MICROWAVE MOCHI
Makes 6
1 cup sweet rice flour, or mochiko
¼ cup sugar
¾ cup water
A few drops pink food coloring, or 1 Tbsp Strawberry Quik
Cornstarch, for dusting
Vanilla ice cream
Nutella
3 strawberries, sliced thin.
SCOOP
Scoop 6 small balls of ice cream onto a plate. Freeze, at least 1 hour. While waiting, whisk flour, sugar, water and food coloring in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and pink. If you're using Quik, cut the sugar to 2 Tbsp. Cover loosely.
MICROWAVE
Microwave the mixture for 1 min. Stir. Microwave 1 more minute. Stir. It should look glossy and stretch like taffy. Turn it out onto a board dusted heavily with cornstarch. It is very sticky. Let it cool until you can touch it.
CUT
Cut into 6 pieces. Flatten each into a little circle. Spread a thin layer of Nutella, lay in 2 strawberry slices, drop an ice cream ball on top.
FREEZE
Freeze 30 minutes.
ENJOY!
Let them sit out 5 minutes before eating so the dough goes soft again.
