1. Galaxy Glaze Donuts

Are you quite fond of Chocolate Pudding or Choco Lava Cake? But do you want to try something new and adorable? Then the galaxy glaze donuts are your answer.

Ingredients (Makes 8 donuts)

For the donuts:

• 250 gm all-purpose flour
• 50 gm sugar
• 5 gm baking powder
• 5 gm baking soda
• 5 gm salt
• 150 ml milk
• 50 ml buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 5 ml vanilla extract
• 50 gm melted butter

For the glaze:

• 200 gm powdered sugar
• 50 ml milk
• Food coloring (dark blue, purple, and white)
• Edible glitter

Procedure

1. Make the donuts:

• Preheat your oven to 175°C. Grease a donut pan like it's going out of style.
• In one bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In another bowl, mix milk, buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter.
• Combine squads into one big, happy team. Stir just until it's smooth (overmixing will kill the fluff).
• Pour the batter into the donut molds, about 3/4 full.
• Bake at 175°C for 10-12 minutes or until golden and springy. Let them cool before dunking them into their cosmic future.

2. Time for galaxy glaze magic:

• Mix powdered sugar and milk until you get a smooth glaze. Divide into three bowls.
• Add different food coloring to each bowl: one dark blue, one purple, and one white.
• Swirl the colors together gently, creating that galactic look, but don’t fully mix them. Keep it chaotic.
• Dip each donut face down, give them a spin, and pull them out to reveal the stellar beauty. Sprinkle with edible glitter. Let it set.

2. Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream Bites

Squishy on the outside, creamy on the inside and way too adorable to handle. You can enjoy it with a glass of Oreo Milkshake.

Ingredients (Makes 12 bites)

For the mochi dough:

• 160 gm glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
• 100 gm sugar
• 250 ml water
• 5 ml pink food coloring

For the filling:

• 300 ml strawberry ice cream (store-bought or homemade)
• Cornstarch (for dusting)

Procedure

1. Prepare the ice cream centers:

• Scoop the strawberry ice cream into 12 small balls (about 1 tbsp each). Pop them onto a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least two hours or until rock solid. No one likes a melting mochi.

2. Mochi dough time:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, water, and pink food coloring until smooth.
• Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap, then microwave for one minute. Stir.
• Microwave again for another minute. Stir once more.
• Microwave a final time for 30 seconds until it’s thick, sticky, and impossible to stir. Congratulations, you’ve made mochi dough!

3. Assembly:

• Dust a clean surface and your hands with cornstarch (this dough is like glue, don’t say we didn’t warn you).
• Roll out the mochi dough into a thin layer, about 3-4 mm thick.
• Cut into 12 small circles (around 8 cm in diameter).
• Place a frozen ice cream ball in the center of each circle. Pinch the edges together to seal the deal.
• Dust off any excess cornstarch and pop your mochi bites back in the freezer until you’re ready to wow

For greasing:

• A bit of butter and cocoa powder.

Procedure

• Stir in sugar until well combined.

3. Mix the batter:

• Let the cakes rest for 1 minute before flipping them onto a plate. Crack one open, to enjoy the matcha lava oozing out like pure heaven.
