Aussie TikTokers Have Created Milo Mochi Balls and My Belly Is Ready

Forget sprinkling Milo over your ice cream.

Aside from hilarious trends and dance videos, TikTok has very quickly become the best place to share the wildest and wackiest recipes out there. From nature's cereal to air-fried pasta chips, there’s no recipe too crazy to land on the platform.

Now, a genius Aussie creator has gone and done God’s work by combining mochi balls with the cult Aussie drink: Milo.

For the non-Aussies, Milo is a chocolate-flavoured malt powder drink that you can serve, hot, cold, with water or without. It’s very similar to a chocolate milkshake or hot chocolate, only slightly more nutritional (and high-key better).

On the other hand, Mochi is a Japanese rice dessert made out of a glutinous rice dough. It’s similar to a squishy, ball-shaped cake but often contains a cream or ice cream filling.

Considering Aussie kids have been sprinkling Milo all over their vanilla ice cream for decades, how Milo mochi has never been thought of before is beyond me, but the recipe is as simple as you might expect.

TikTok user @audreysaurus shared her creation to the video platform, racking up over 1.3 million likes and over 10.8 thousand comments.

So, what's the recipe?

Ingredients and measurements wise, this is what you’ll need:

• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream.
• 1 tsp sugar.
• 1 tbsp milo.
• 60g glutinous rice flour.
• 30g sugar.
• 100ml water.

Basically, to start you have to whip up the heavy whipping cream, one teaspoon of sugar as well as one tablespoon of Milo (or more if your heart desires) until stiff peaks form in the mixture.

Once the cream mixture is thick and malleable, scoop out small portions of it into balls and put them in the freezer.

From here you’ll want to combine the glutinous rice flour, 30 grams of sugar and water in a bowl, then put it in the microwave for one minute twice, stirring in-between. Then back in the microwave again but this time for 30 seconds twice, stirring in-between.

Once the rice flour dough is a solid consistency you can dust it with corn-starch, split it into even pieces and wrap each piece around the mochi evenly, pinching the rice flour dough shut.

Now you can coat the outside of the mochi in Milo and enjoy!

It’s honestly something you could probably make with what’s already in your pantry, so you’re in luck if Woolies and Coles are sold out.

Just in case Milo isn’t your thing, Audrey has also created a matcha tiramisu version, so go nuts.
