Nutella Mochi

Nutella Mochi – the Asian Ferrero Rocher. Chewy & tender with the perfect amount of sweetness. 

Remember when I shared that we don’t subscribe to TV channels at home? Frederick loves movies. He is the one who knows what’s coming and who constantly checks IMDB. I fall in the other side of the category though. I do not bother to see what’s new nor do I follow new famous celebrities. Despite the different levels of love for movies, we still manage to watch together almost every week.

Big Hero 6 was one of the movies we watched together. I love this movie. I love its animation. (I’m not going to give you a spoiler alert, in case you haven’t watched it.) BayMax reminds me of mochi – the fluffy white snacks.

Mochi is a Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice. While it is eaten all year round, mochi is a traditional, commonly sold and eaten during Japanese New Year. My mom used to make these when I was little and uses dry roasted peanuts. But today, I will share with you a Nutella Mochi recipe. It’s so simple and requires few ingredients but it tastes awesome!
