Ingredients
- 2 cups maple water
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (preferably dark syrup for its robust flavour)
- 1 cup sticky (sushi) rice, uncooked
- 1/2 package cream cheese
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins*
- 2 tbsp maple sugar
Method
- In a saucepan over high heat, bring the maple water, maple syrup, and rice to a boil. Cover, with the lid slightly askew. Reduce heat and cook 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Add more maple water, if needed.
- Meanwhile, cube the cheese and allow to soften at room temperature.
- Remove pan from heat. Add all ingredients to the rice and stir well.
- Line a 20 cm (8 inch) square pan with enough plastic wrap to fold over the mixture.
- Pour mixture into the pan and fold the plastic over, pressing down to compact it.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Cut into 15 squares and wrap individually in aluminum foil.
