If you don't know what a Sno-Ball is, you should probably move on to the next chapter. Those round, fuzzy pink flavor wads are a staple of childhood (and a guilty pleasure of adulthood). Food coloring is optional here, but without it, this recipe looks much too grown-up.

Ingredients

　　1 large egg

　　3 tablespoons milk

　　1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

　　1/4 teaspoon coconut extract

　　1 drop pink liquid food coloring

　　1/4 cup granulated sugar

　　1/3 cup self-rising flour

　　Pinch of kosher salt

　　1/4 cup Marshmallow Fluff or mini marshmallows

　　Sweetened whipped cream

　　1/4 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened are both fine)

　　In a large mug, whisk together the egg and milk with a fork. Stir in the extracts, food coloring, and sugar. Add the flour and salt. Beat the batter until smooth. Swirl in the Marshmallow Fluff. Divide the batter between two mugs. Microwave separately for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes each until risen and firm. Top each with a dollop of the whipped cream and shredded coconut.

　　Note:

　　To color your coconut pink, combine a handful of coconut and a drop of liquid food coloring in a ziplock bag, then knead it to spread the color. (Paste or gel food coloring doesn't work well here, as they tend to clump.)
