The main ingredients include crispy rice cereal, marshmallows, butter, food colouring, fresh fruits (watermelon, kiwi, and strawberries), fruit roll-ups, coconut, white chocolate, black sesame seeds, and berry coulis for serving. All combine to create convincing sushi-shaped treats.
Learn how to cook Watermelon Sushi Recipe by first making pink-tinted rice crispy treats, then shaping them with fresh fruit fillings to resemble sushi. Some pieces are rolled like maki with fruit centres, while others are formed into nigiri topped with watermelon "fish." The result is a playful dessert that mimics real sushi but tastes deliciously sweet.
Absolutely! Replace artificial colouring with natural alternatives like beetroot powder for pink rice and matcha powder for green elements. Freeze-dried fruit powders work brilliantly too - strawberry powder creates vibrant pink while spinach powder offers a natural green for the "nori" elements.
These treats are best made 1-2 days ahead maximum. Store in an airtight container, with layers separated by parchment paper. For optimal freshness, add the fresh fruit components just a few hours before serving, as they can release moisture into the rice crispy base if left too long.
For perfectly neat slices, use a very sharp knife dipped in hot water between cuts. Wipe the blade clean each time and re-warm it for the cleanest edges. Allow the rolls to set completely before cutting and apply gentle pressure rather than sawing motions for best results.
