It’s Frushi, not Sushi {although kinda close}!

{By Emily ~ July 24, 2008} 

We’ve all heard of and possibly tasted Sushi at some point in life, but what about Frushi? Oh my yummy ~ it’s so good and it’s sure to be a top request at home.

Coconut-Frushi

Just in case you haven’t heard of this delectable treat, Frushi is what happens when you replace the “fish, seaweed and wasabi” with “fruit, sugar and yogurt”. Have it for breakfast, for dessert, or make it into a party dish, it’s good for all kinds of eating events and it’s not too hard to make. In fact, you really can make it however you want, but if you’re looking for a few detailed directions this recipe will get you started.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup uncooked sushi rice or other short-grain rice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light coconut milk
Dash of salt
Cooking spray
10 orange sections
20 fresh raspberries
1 (6-ounce) carton vanilla fat-free yogurt

Preparation
Bring water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until water is almost absorbed. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 15 minutes.
Place rice in a large bowl. Add sugar, coconut milk, and salt, stirring gently until well combined. Cover and let stand 20 minutes.

Lightly coat hands with cooking spray. Divide rice mixture into 20 equal portions, shaping each into a ball (about 1 rounded tablespoon each). Lightly press each rice ball into an oval between palms; place ovals on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Top each of 10 ovals with 1 orange section, and press gently to adhere. Top each of the remaining 10 ovals with 2 raspberries. Cover and chill frushi until ready to serve. Serve with yogurt for dipping.

Makes 5 servings (serving size: 4 frushi pieces and about 2 1/2 tablespoons yogurt)

    Fabulous recipe! We love sushi (no sea urchin though, thanks…LOL!), but this is terrific for a cute and hip dessert. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I think my kids will enjoy making this one with me.

    Mmmmmmm, this looks delicious. So are you planning on making it? I wonder how many one could eat before feeling kind of sick?

    Wow, what a fantastic idea! I’m definitely having one of those *I wish I’d thought of that* moments.

    This is SO cute! I guess my head must have been in the proverbial hole to have not heard of them so thanks for the post!

    mmm . . . this looks delicious! not being a huge fan of the seafood variety, this is something i will make (and eat rapidly) quite often :)

    This looks really good. I am going to have to try this. I can’t have dairy though, but I could make a coconut cream sauce to dip it it or even a fruit sauce. Thanks!!

    Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe idea! I’ve been having a bit of trouble finding sweet recipes that don’t require an oven, and these will be perfect for Valentine’s Day! (and if you have any ideas or recs for sweets that don’t require baking, I would love you forever!)
