Banana Chocolate Eggrolls



Ingredients:
  • 24 eggroll wrappers
  • 6 ripe bananas, cut into halves, then quarter each half, so you get 8 pieces per banana
  • 1 cup chocolate spread or warm melted chocolate
  • Oil for frying
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, for dusting


Directions:
  • In a small bowl mix powdered sugar and cinnamon until well blended, set aside.
  • Lay one sheet of egg roll wrapper, and spread about a teaspoon of chocolate about 2 inches from one corner of the wrapper.


  • Place 2 pieces of banana on top of chocolate


  • Fold the corner over the banana and start rolling until it reaches the middle. Tuck in left and right corners and continue rolling.


  • Brush the last corner with some water and seal the egg rolls. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.



  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry egg rolls a few at the time to prevent overcrowding. Transfer to paper towel to drain. Dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired

    1. Silly me, I am not very familiar with Turon at all, I had to look it up. What a sweet coincidence, I guess. Might work very well with brown sugar instead of chocolate.

    1. I don't see why not. I might try to bake them at 375 until brown on the top, then flip them over and brown the other side. Will make less greasy version of these puppies :)

  5. Could you use phyllo dough instead of eggroll wrappers?

    1. I'm sure you can. Although I am not advising you on deep frying the phyllo dough, because they're so delicate. Baking the egg rolls in 375 degree oven might work better, I think.

  6. Do you think I would be able to prepare them ahead of time and then just fry them when ready to serve?
