Ingredients

• 2 cups sushi rice
  
  

• 2½ cups water
  
  

• ¼ cup sugar
  
  

• ¼ cup rice vinegar
  
  

• ½ cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
  
  

• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  
  

• 1 ripe banana, sliced
  
  

• ½ cup strawberries, sliced
  
  

• ¼ cup chocolate syrup (optional)
  
  

Note: For a gluten-free version, substitute sushi rice with quinoa.

Directions

1. Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2½ cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for an additional 10 minutes.
   
   

2. Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and rice vinegar until dissolved. Once the rice has cooled slightly, gently fold this mixture into the rice until evenly coated.
   
   

3. Prepare the Filling: While the rice cools, slice the banana and strawberries. Set them aside for assembly.
   
   

4. Assemble the Sushi: On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of plastic wrap. Spread a thin layer of the sweetened rice over the wrap, leaving about an inch at the top. Sprinkle the Fruity Pebbles over the rice, followed by a line of cream cheese, banana slices, and strawberry slices.
   
   

5. Roll the Sushi: Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Moisten the edge of the plastic wrap to seal the roll.
   
   

6. Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled sushi into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired, and serve immediately for the best texture.
