(You are viewing my husband’s birthday cake… instead of a typical flour cake, we decided to take a different route and it was worth it!!)

Try it Vegan fresh fruit atop sweet rice … delish’!

Suggested ingredients:

• 1 can (14 oz) of unsweetened coconut milk (go crazy… buy organic with all ingredients if you can, your taste buds and health will thank you!)
• 14 oz. water
• 1 3/4 cups of dry sushi rice (rinse very well first)
• 3 1/2 tbsp Vegan sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Fresh fruit washed, dried and larger pieces cut to fit  (We used champagne grapes, blackberries, raspberries & strawberries but other fruit makes it incredibly colorful such as kiwi, pineapple, mango and mandarin oranges to name a few)
• Fruit preserves (we used Strawberry preserves, coconut jam ((SO SO GOOD!  We found this in a specialty store but completely worth the splurge if you can find it!)) and also orange marmalade
• Vegan chocolate melted (not necessary but for the chocoholics out there like us… you are welcome 😉

TiV Fruit Sushi Frushi Ingredients that will make it difficult for you to wait until it’s done.

What to do:

• Pour unsweetened coconut milk, water and rice into pot and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to simmer, put a lid on it and let it sit until the rice has absorbed the liquid.  Once absorbed, mix in sugar and salt then fluff with a fork and let cool.
• Once the rice has cooled, scoop a small amount of rice and roll into an oblong shape and flatten on top (like a Mounds bar, if you are familiar with the shape and size).
• Spread your choice(s) of preserves atop to act as a “glue” (for my fellow chocoholics, vegan chocolate makes another great choice but hurry and put the fruit on before it dries!)
• Place fruit of your choice on top.
• *Option for some, necessity for others… drizzle vegan chocolate atop some (but not all! 🙂
• Lick fingers clean  Enjoy!
