Banana chocolate spring rolls (baked banana lumpia)

In the course of the last week or so, a rather gorgeous looking dishes caught my eye: banana turons, a Filipino dessert of deep-fried banana rolls or banana lumpia. 

My versions are just marginally healthier in that they’re baked rather than fried, to give banana and chocolate spring rolls. The wrap is crispy, the insides are syrupy, chocolatey goodness. Oh, so moreish!

Here’s what to do to make four large banana chocolate spring rolls.

Ingredients

Equipment

Instructions

• Take the filo pastry out of the fridge 20 minutes before you start, so that it’s soft enough to work with.
• Unroll the filo pastry – it’s in a rectangle so cut down the middle to create squares.
• Sprinkle about 1/2 tbsp of sugar on top of a square, then in a diagonal corner put two pieces of banana and 5 or 6 chocolate chips.
• Fold over the corner and then gently keep rolling until you are near the end.
• Wet your finger with water (I had a little bowl of water to hand for convenience) and dab the two sides before folding them over, then roll to the end to seal.
• Repeat until you have four rolls ready to cook.
• Place the rolls on a nonstick baking tray and brush with the egg.
• Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tbsp sugar.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp. Be careful – they will be very hot inside.
• Melt the remaining chocolate in a little pot to act as a dipping sauce and serve

These banana chocolate spring rolls are really, truly delicious. Will you try them?

Notes

Uncooked filo pastry dries out very quickly if left out. You can avoid this by keeping a very slightly damp tea towl over your stack of filo as you work.
