Having a sweet tooth runs in our family.  So when it comes to desserts, we definitely LOVE them.

For dairy-free and peanut-free options that are enjoyable to all, we have to get a bit creative with the recipes.  Here’s one we enjoy making with Kay that’s quick and easy: mango sushi with coconut sticky rice.  Mmm mmm goodness!

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of sticky rice (also known as glutinous rice), cooked
2. 1 can of coconut milk
3. 1 mango
4. 1 tbsp sugar (or 2)
5. 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Place cooked sticky rice into a medium sized bowl
2. Pour in coconut milk (can add more to taste)
3. Sprinkle in salt to taste
4. Sprinkle in sugar to taste
5. Mix contents thoroughly
6. Set aside to cool to room temperature
7. Peel the mango and remove its seed
8. Cut mango in thin slices and set aside
9. Form the coconut sticky rice into sushi
10. Place mango slices on top of sushi
11. *Optional* Add garnish (in this case, the blueberry was added by my daughter)
