Fruit Sushi

Neat info: This site has its recipes posted in both english & french. i've just included the english version, but if you're practicing your french. or are more fluent en francais check it out (the french version is always posted just below).
FROM LA TARTINE GOURMANDE (latartinegourmande.com)
(for about 10 sushi)
2cups + 2 tbsps whole milk*
8tbsps risotto rice
Zest of 1 organic lemon
1/2tsp pure lemon extract
2 to 3tbsps blond cane sugar, or more, according to taste
1 organic green apple, cored and sliced (squeeze some lemon juice on top to prevent discoloration)
1 pink grapefruit, white membrane removed and sliced
Fresh mint leaves
Grated coconut
Raspberry sauce
Directions:
1. Rinse the rice under cold water.
2. In a pot, heat the milk* w/the lemon zest & extract.
3. When it reached boiling point, pour the rice in it & reduce the heat.
4. Simmer, stirring once in a while, for about 20 min, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
5. Add the sugar to taste & mix. Let cool, stirring occasionally.
6. With the palms of your hands (run them under water to make the task easier), shape small sushi. I prefer to eat them lukewarm, so if necessary, reheat them gently.
7. Place a slice of fruit on each, apple or grapefruit, or mango if it is the season.
8. Sprinkle w/grated coconut & add a leaf of mint.
9. Serve with raspberry sauce. Light and fresh, for anyone loving rice pudding.

*Note: You can also substitute milk w/coconut milk, if you like.
