perfect summer snack

Place the sushi rice in a pot and wash until the water runs almost clear, then drain the water. Add the measured water and cook the rice according to the package instructions. When it’s ready, transfer the rice to a shallow bowl or similar to cool. Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sugar, and mix everything together. Wash the fruit, peel if necessary, and cut it up. Long pieces between 0.5 cm and 1.0 cm thick are best. Cover the sushi mat with plastic wrap, then sprinkle with desiccated coconut, if desired. Then, with wet hands, lightly press the sushi rice onto the bottom half of the mat, making sure there are no holes. Now place the fruit on the bottom third of the rice. Lift the sushi mat and, if possible, hold the fruit slightly so it doesn’t slide away while rolling. Applying light pressure toward the center of the fruit or roll, move the sushi mat forward piece by piece until the rice finally forms a roll. When cutting, be careful not to crush the rolls; therefore, be sure to use a sharp knife. Also, have water ready to moisten the knife and your fingertips so the rice doesn’t stick to them. Garnish with chocolate sauce or jam, if desired, or serve on the side for dipping.
