Sushi is a fun, creative meal made by combining cooked rice with fruit, vegetables, seafood, or other ingredients. Combine your favorite fruit to make this perfect roll that can be enjoyed as dessert or snack.

Serving Size: ½ a roll (approximately 4 pieces)

Yield: 8 servings (4 rolls)

Ingredients:

Rice:

• 1 cup sushi rice, uncooked
• 1 1/3 cups light coconut milk, vigorously shake to ensure the fat is evenly distributed
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Lemon or lime zest (optional)

Roll:

• 4 Nori (roasted seaweed wrappers)
• Fruit of choice: apples, strawberries, mandarin oranges, melon, mango, bananas, pineapple, kiwi; thinly sliced into long strips.

Directions:

1. Rinse the sushi rice in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear. In a saucepan combine the rice and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 13-15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes. Once rice is cooked transfer to a large metal bowl to let cool.
2. Combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat and stir until sugar dissolves, then let the mixture cool. Once cooled add the zest. Pour over cooled, cooked rice and combine with a fork, fluffing the rice in the process. Refrigerate.
3. Lay a piece of Nori (shiny side down) over a bamboo mat or sheet of plastic wrap. Using the back of a spoon spread and lightly press a thin layer of rice over the entire Nori sheet, leaving only about an inch of space at the top uncovered by the rice. Place the fruit in a horizontal row across the bottom third of the rice (careful not to overfill) and tightly roll the Nori. Using a serrated knife slice into 8 pieces.
