Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 whole strawberries
• 1 whole kiwi
• 0.5 whole mango
• 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Then, stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice is cooling, prepare the fruit: Dice the strawberries and mango into small cubes, and peel and slice the kiwi into thin half-moons.

Step 6

Once the rice has cooled, scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of rice into your hands and shape it into small rectangular or oval mounds, similar to nigiri sushi.

Step 7

Place a piece of fruit or a combination of fruit slices on top of each rice mound. Use gentle pressure to adhere the fruit to the rice.

Step 8

For an extra garnish, sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes or drizzle with a small amount of honey, if desired.

Step 9

Arrange the frushi on a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy this delightful and healthy treat!
