Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe In case you like sweet sushi treats, then you will definitely love this fruit sushi.
Combining coconut sticky rice as well as fresh fruits provides you with a treat that's gluten free, dairy free, vegan, but likewise loaded with flavor!
If perhaps you have previously attempted lovely rice paper rolls with fruit, then you will realize that the mix of the sweet, mango, fresh fruits and sticky rice is but one to die for. Nevertheless, this fresh fruit sushi could be well prepared in a couple of different methods and therefore are a terrific choice for impressing family and friends. In reality, this's very easily one of my personal favorite hearty fruit dessert recipes.
This particular cute sushi may be turned into sushi rolls, balls, and rectangular' nigiri' like logs topped with fresh berries. I have choices for toppings & dressings below.
Create the sweet rice
I constantly make use of this sweet coconut rice for the fruit sushi of mine. You will have to allow it to be and permit it to cool before carrying on with the recipe. When it is hot, it is able to still be rather very soft and will not form into sushi shapes very easily.
Prepare the fruit
When creating sushi rolls: you will want to slice long' baton' strips of each fruit which you are using. Slice blackberries in half, and leave raspberries entire.
For the sushi balls: you will need really thin slices of the fruit (using a mandolin or maybe sharp knife); mango, kiwi, and strawberry are the greatest choices here.
For the rectangular' nigiri': you have to chop the fruit of yours large enough to sit down in addition to the rice, you are able to leave the raspberries whole once again.
Shape the dessert Sushi
For Sushi Rolls: It is better to make use of a bamboo sushi mat for this, with a slice of cling film (plastic wrap) above it. Nevertheless, in case you do not have a bamboo mat then a portion of parchment paper is going to work (with or perhaps without cling film).
Using aproximatelly one cup of grain every roll, spread a slim, even level of grain with the mat/parchment newspaper into an' almost square' (one side has to be somewhat narrower so it is much more of a rectangle).
Tip: For rolls which have thin slices of fruit on the outside, lay this on the clingfilm before spreading the grain on top. If you roll it and chill, the slices are going to form to the sides of the rice.
Around 1.5' (inches) in from the rice, insert a row of the fruit batons of yours. Do not overfill or perhaps it is going to be extremely tricky to roll the sushi.
Making use of the sushi mat, or simply the hands of yours, begin rolling the sushi ahead, right into a log shape. press gently to mesh the 2 rice edges together & develop a comprehensive roll.
Tighten the cling film/parchment paper within the log, twisting firmly at the ends, such as a candy wrapper. Next, set in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.
In order to slice the roll, discharge from the parchment paper/plastic wrap (or do n't if preferred) as well as, utilizing a sharp knife dipped in water, make fast, solid slices about 1-2' apart.
For Sushi Balls: First, you will have to thinly slice the fruit of yours. These balls go best with fruits which could be sliced rather thinly - for example strawberries, kiwi, mango.
Make use of a mandoline or even quite sharp knife to slice extremely thin slices of the fruit. After that organize them, slightly overlapping, into the form of a group with a slice of clingfilm/plastic wrap (6-8' wide).
For a simple rice facility, only drop 1 1.5 tbsp of the sweet rice of the middle of the fruit circle. For a' surprise' berry center, press the grain right into a thin coating to the group and put a raspberry or even blackberry for the center. You are able to also include a little bit of jam with the fruit.
After that take the wrap up and around the wall as well as squeeze gently into shape then safe by twisting the clear plastic wrap at the top. You are able to make an effort to de mold it right after a couple of minutes. Although, I favor to spot in the refrigerator to chill for an hour.
For' Nigiri' (rectangular shaped): This's the simplest of all of the choices. All that you have to accomplish is portion through the rice into 3 4 tbsp parts. Roll these into a rectangular shape after which top with the fruits of yours of choice.
When you are experiencing problems getting the fruit to adhere to the top, then simply you are able to make use of a bit honey (non vegan) or any other gluey syrup (maple syrup is not sticky enough). You may want to make use of just a little berry jam.
(Optional) Decoration as well as Dips
Sticking to the above 2 actions, the cute sushi of yours is prepared to eat. Nevertheless, in case you would like to go the excess step of decorating them much more next you've a few options to select from (listed above).
I love sprinkling various sushi with various topping as well as top some with very little mint leaves.
At exactly the same time, organize and' dip'/' drizzle' you would like to make use of. Melt a bit of chocolate, water down a jam, or perhaps utilize one of the berry dressings for a fascinating acidic flavor.
You are able to, optionally, perform along with you favorite ice cream also or maybe coconut whipped cream.
