Dessert Sushi

Over the weekend we attended a Sushi and Sake party. There were so many delicious foods; sushi rolls with raw fish and also veggie ones, Udon soup, potstickers and eggrolls, baked brie with crackers, and the list could go on and on. We also sampled 4 different sakes, and at that point I had to switch to water for the rest of the night. :)

I made cheesecake dessert sushi rolls for the party, from Cake, Batter, and Bowl's recipe. Here are all of my ingredients:
After mixing everything together, spread the chocolate "dough" in between 2 pieces of parchment paper and roll out to about 13" by 6". Spread the cream cheese mixture down the center, top with the fruit (I used mango and banana), roll up and cut into pieces.
Sounds easy, right? It's not. The assembly was fine, but when it came to rolling it I ran into major problems. The fruit kept sliding out, the dough kept cracking and in the end my rolls looked misshapen and slightly ridiculous. They were still super tasty, but I definitely need to work on my technique!
