    Figure A

    Ingredients:

    Sushi rice
    Sweetened coconut milk
    Vanilla or lemon pudding
    Gelatin
    Thin slivered strawberries
    Thin slivered melon
    Raspberries
    Raspberry syrup
    Mint for garnish

    Preparation:

    Make the rice; then, instead of mixing it with sushi su, mix sweetened coconut milk through the rice to dress it.

    Line a baking dish with plastic wrap and spread the rice in a layer approximately 1/2" thick. Make regular vanilla pudding (or you can use lemon pudding), adding a little gelatin to make it firm. When pudding has cooled, spread it over the rice layer and refrigerate overnight (it needs to be very firm and hold its shape).

    Dip cookie cutter in water and then push it all the way through the rice/pudding mixture (you can use any shape or size cookie cutter). Build a stack with the cutout rice/pudding mixture, and add slivers of melon, strawberries, etc. Garnish with mint and drizzle raspberry syrup around the plate and on the sushi.

    For a variation: Cut out a round piece of rice/pudding mixture, wrap a thin slice of melon around it and fill it with raspberries (figure A).
