    What is Dessert Sushi?

    Dessert sushi is the most incredible snack that’s made of delicious ingredients like fruits, bread, sauces, or spreads, all rolled up to give the appearance of sushi!

    There are different types of dessert sushi out there, but the one I’m sharing with you today is the perfect mix of everything that makes dessert sushi delicious.

    It features bananas rolled in a honey tortilla, with a Nutella spread filling and coated in coconut shavings to give the sushi look.

    You don’t have to end your sushi experience with rice and fish, but finish your meal with the next best thing.

    Children just as much as adults get those snack attacks, and it's handy to have some on hand for a tasty treat. Especially when they get home from school, and bring mommy another award or a perfect score. 

    Dessert sushi is such a treat, my kids are in love with this stuff. Portion control is necessary, or the whole batch is gone in seconds. I highly recommend you treat your kiddos today with this delicious snack!

    What You Need to Make Dessert Sushi at Home

    Making this delicious dessert sushi at home is incredibly easy and only requires pantry-staple ingredients. Here’s what you need to make it:

    Flatbread: I used honey wheat flatbread for this dessert sushi recipe, but you may use regular flatbread or regular tortilla. This kind of flatbread is best for this recipe and you can find it in the bread aisle at Walmart.

    Nutella: You may use any spread of your choice like Hershey chocolate spread, peanut butter, jam, etc.

    Bananas: Large and straight bananas work best for this recipe as it is easy to roll without bending into a circle shape. It gives the sushi a delicious fruit twist and also helps with the sushi shape.

    Making this delicious dessert sushi at home is incredibly easy and only requires pantry-staple ingredients.

    Coconut shavings: I prefer to use unsweetened coconut since Nutella is already pretty sweet. Also, I like to process coconut shavings in the food processor so the shavings are smaller in shape representing sushi rice.

    How to Make Dessert Sushi Step by Step

    Making this delicious dessert sushi is so incredibly easy that you will be surprised. Here’s what you need to do step by step to make it:

    How to Roll Dessert Sushi

    Start by spreading the tortilla with a thin layer of Nutella. 

    Next, peel the banana and place it on top of the Nutella coating. Roll tortillas tightly around the banana.

    It shouldn’t be difficult to do it and you don’t need a sushi mat to roll it. However, if you’re having a little trouble you can use parchment paper to help you roll it.

    Spread tortilla with a thin layer of Nutella. Peel banana and place on top of the Nutella coating. Roll tortillas tightly around the banana.

    How to Decorate Dessert Sushi

    Time to make our dessert sushi look even better! Coat half of the roll with Nutella and place the coated roll into coconut shavings.

    Next, coat the other side of the sushi roll and coat it with coconut. Roll the roll back and forth into the coconut shaving.

      What a fun idea for the kids:) They can even help make them! I will probably use homemade crepes (blinchiki) instead of the storebought flatbread.
