Get the rice out of the fridge. (Remember we discussed yesterday you were saving it for today).
You will need about 2 cups of rice for this dessert, that will make 8 balls (about the size of a ping pong ball).
Heat the rice in the microwave for 1 minute, then dump into a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of flaked coconut and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Mix it up with your hands. You should get a slightly runny mixture.
Take a sheet pan and put a sheet of waxed paper on it.
Using your hands form the rice into balls. You will probably need to squeeze some of the liquid out as you make each one, if it falls apart, add more coconut. These will be very loose.
Place each ball on the pan until you have made all you are making and place in freezer for 30 to 45 minutes. This will allow them to harden up a bit.
I love them just like this, but you can coat them in chocolate, add peanut butter on top, sprinkle them with nuts or toasted sesame seeds before freezing. Use your imagination.
These are a cheap and different way to use up leftover rice.

Oh yum! I love coconut and this sounds heavenly!
This sounds like a great dessert! Ty would love it the way he loves coconut! I think I'd fix them just the way you do and then maybe try them later dipping the frozen balls in chocolate. You just amaze me at the things you can come up with!
