Ingredients

Scale

1 cup sushi rice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large strawberries, hulled
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
1 sheet nori (optional for structure)
Strawberry sauce, for drizzle
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Rinse the sushi rice well and cook according to the package directions. Stir in sugar, rice vinegar, and vanilla extract while warm. Let it cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with powdered sugar and whip until light and fluffy.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover with plastic wrap. Spread cooled rice into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
Place the optional nori sheet on the rice. Spread a line of sweetened cream cheese down the center.
Place strawberries in a row over the cream cheese, then sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
Carefully roll the sushi using the mat to form a tight log. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 minutes.
Unwrap and slice with a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter, drizzle with strawberry sauce, garnish with mint, and sprinkle extra graham crumbs.

Notes

For best results, chill before slicing. Don’t overfill the roll to keep clean slices. The nori is optional but can help with structure.
