I always have this big can of Nesquick Strawberry mix as my son loves it mixed in his morning mug of milk. I started buying it when I was pregnant, as I didn’t like chocolate then, so was happy to see they offered it in strawberry flavor! It was the only way i could drink milk then. I guess it got passed on to my son! 😊
When I was making the mochi recipes for the ELB, I happened to see the can of Nesquick and immediately thought of using it as flavoring. And here is the result of the experiment!
I would add more Nesquick next time as the flavors and color was minimal. Otherwise, the mochi was chewy, sweet, and delicious enough for a snack.
*NOTE that this recipe uses regular sized measuring cups, NOT the tiny ELB cup, unless specified.*

Awesome! This is one I won’t be able to make, but so cool that you can make mochi in it!
I got my Itaki this week and have made your boxed cake recipe, it turned out perfectly! And then today I tried making mantou and it worked! I could only do two buns at a time (54g dough balls) but still, it was great fun 🙂 Going through your recipes now and marking ones that I could do while traveling. Thanks again!
You can definitely make more mantou, freeze them, then take however many you need in a cooler when you travel. Or even in the itaki if you’ll eat it same day so it defrosts.
Cake in individual portion is always a winner in my home. I’m glad you liked that one! 🤗
I love mochi – and that I could make it with itaki is wonderful!
