Dinner parties are always better with a unique sweet treat on the table. I have collected 17 dessert sushi recipes that bring vibrant color and fun to your next gathering.
You get all the joy of sushi presentation without a single slice of raw fish. These treats are easy to assemble even if you have never rolled sushi before. You will love serving these creative bites to your guests.
1. Oreo Sushi
You might hesitate at the sound of Oreo sushi. I promise it is worth the extra effort for such a fun result. You only need a box of cookies and some milk to get started.
Separate the cookies and blitz them in a food processor. The process is incredibly simple.
2. Banana Sushi
Dipping individual banana slices can get messy and tedious. I prefer this method of coating the whole fruit at once.
It looks impressive when you slice it up for serving. A topping of crushed pistachios adds a beautiful pop of color.
3. Mango Sticky Rice Dessert Sushi
This recipe twists classic mango sticky rice into a beautiful new form. You will want to take pictures of this one immediately.
Bold flavors come from fresh mint and nori. I recommend using coconut sugar and milk for the stickiest rice. Feel free to swap the mango for peaches or passion fruit.
4. Kit Kat Sushi Bars
Kit Kats serve as good luck charms in Japan. This recipe is definitely a winner in my book. It comes together very quickly.
You can use fun flavors like pistachio or cheesecake if you can find them. I love how versatile this treat is.
5. S’mores Sushi
This is the perfect alternative to messy campfire s’mores. You do not need to worry about open flames with this easy preparation.
It is an affordable way to kick off the summer season. I find it impossible to resist these sweet bites.
6. Dessert Sushi Semifreddo
This Japanese dessert combines pineapple and matcha for a decadent finish. It involves a bit of kitchen gastronomy.
Pickled pineapple adds a light flavor profile against the creamy sticky rice. Matcha sheets serve as the nori in this refreshing dish.
7. Chocolate Raspberry Dessert Sushi Roll
Chocolate and raspberries are a perfect match in this decadent roll. A flat chocolate cake binds the whole dessert together.
You simply slather on the cheesecake filling and fresh berries before rolling. Slice it with a sharp knife and serve with raspberry dipping sauce.
8. Waffle Breakfast Sushi Rolls
Sushi for breakfast is totally acceptable with this recipe. You will need a pizzelle maker to get the right texture. The result is a cross between a waffle and a crepe.
You must work quickly before the cookies harden as they cool.
9. Fresh Fruit Sushi Dessert
It is time to rethink the standard fruit salad for your next BBQ. This recipe uses sushi-grade rice sweetened with coconut milk.
Cut your fruit filling into long strips for the best presentation. I suggest using a variety of fruits for color contrast.
10. Rice Krispie Treat Candy Sushi Roll
This cheerful treat is a fantastic choice for holiday parties. You use fruit roll-ups to mimic the look of nori.
Pile gummy candies into the Rice Krispie base and roll it all up. I love setting up a table so kids can build their own.
11. Banana and Nutella Sushi
These rolls are perfect for satisfying a late night craving. You likely have the few required ingredients in your kitchen right now.
No cooking is required for this simple snack. You just spread, wrap, roll, and eat.
12. Chocolate and Mango Sushi Rolls
A simple chocolate crepe serves as the wrap for this beautiful dessert. You fill it with tart mango and vanilla sticky rice.
The result is sweet yet perfectly balanced. It takes a few steps but achieves a restaurant quality look.
13. Vegan Banana Sushi
You can impress your brunch guests in just five minutes with this easy recipe. You can buy crepes or make them ahead of time to speed things up.
Slather them with jam or chocolate and roll a banana in the center. I recommend chilling them before slicing.
14. Coconut Sticky Rice Dessert Sushi
This recipe tastes like it came straight from a Thai restaurant. You cook the rice directly in coconut milk to infuse massive flavor.
It becomes wonderfully sticky once it cools down. A slice of mango on top makes it perfect.
15. Sweet Sushi with Chocolate
This rich dessert is a fun way to end a meal with family. You use couverture chocolate to add notes of cognac and cream.
The complex taste is worth the extra expense. Top the sweetened rice pudding filling with fresh strawberries.
16. Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Sushi
Bananas are the perfect partner for peanut butter and chocolate. You can capture those classic flavors in just five minutes with this recipe.
Rice Krispies coat the banana to add a delightful light crunch. It is a quick and creamy no bake dessert.
17. Dessert Sushi (Rice Krispie Roll Cake)
This recipe takes the classic Rice Krispie Treat to a new level. The sky is the limit regarding what ingredients you can use.
I am partial to the s’mores version. Everything tastes good when paired with Rice Krispies.
