Strawberry Cheesecake Sushi Rolls

Strawberry Cheesecake Sushi Rolls! 🍓🍣

Ingredients

• For the Sushi Rice:

• 1 cup sushi rice 🌾
• 1 ¼ cups water 💧
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar 🍚
• 1 tbsp sugar 🍬
• ½ tsp salt 🧂

• For the Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese (softened) 🧀
• ¼ cup powdered sugar 🍭
• 1 cup strawberries (sliced) 🍓
• ½ cup graham cracker crumbs 🍪

• For the Topping:

• ¼ cup strawberry sauce (store-bought or homemade) 🍓
• Extra strawberries for garnish 🍓

Instructions

Prepare the Sushi Rice:

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. 🥣

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Let it cool.

Prepare the Filling:

In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

Assemble the Rolls:

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of nori (seaweed) on it, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top.

Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the rice, followed by a line of sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.

Roll It Up:

Starting from the bottom, use the mat to roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly. Roll until you reach the top edge of the nori. Moisten the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

Slice the Rolls:

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Add the Toppings:

Drizzle strawberry sauce over the sushi rolls and sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs. Garnish with whole strawberries.

Serve:

Enjoy your delicious strawberry cheesecake sushi rolls! 😋
