This playful dessert sushi offers a vibrant and whimsical twist on a classic form. Each roll features a core of colorful Fruity Pebbles cereal, providing a delightful crunch and a burst of sweet, fruity flavor. This is encased in a layer of subtly sweet sushi rice, then topped with a smooth, creamy white frosting. The rolls are generously adorned with an assortment of bright, multi-colored sprinkles and small, glistening orange candy pearls, adding both visual appeal and a varied texture. The combination creates a unique sweet treat that is both visually striking and enjoyable to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup uncooked sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 sheets nori seaweed (or rice paper for a softer bite)
  • 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup colorful sprinkles
  • 2 tablespoons orange candy pearls (or small orange candies)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for another 10 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, rice vinegar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Transfer the cooked rice to a large, non-metallic bowl. Gently fold in the sugar-vinegar mixture, being careful not to mash the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
  5. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will be your "frosting."
  6. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin, even layer of cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving about a 1-inch border at the top edge.
  7. Arrange a generous line of Fruity Pebbles cereal horizontally across the center of the rice.
  8. Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom edge upwards, pressing gently to seal. Moisten the top border of the nori with a little water to help it stick.
  9. Repeat with the remaining nori, rice, and cereal.
  10. Once all rolls are formed, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese frosting over the top of each roll.
  11. Generously sprinkle the colorful sprinkles and orange candy pearls over the frosted rolls.
  12. Chill the rolls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  13. To serve, use a sharp, damp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Notes

For easier slicing, lightly dampen your knife with water between cuts to prevent sticking.

Chilling the rolls thoroughly before slicing helps maintain their shape and makes for cleaner cuts.

Adjust the sweetness of the rice to your preference by adding more or less sugar to the vinegar mixture.

Experiment with other colorful cereals or candy toppings for different variations.
