Strawberry Banana Spring Rolls With Caramel Rum Sauce
|
| |
| 4 | servings |
| 1 | hour 30 mins prep |
| |
| the rolls can be done several hours ahead of time and the sauce can be |
| done the day before and reheated, if you like. you should use spring |
| roll wrappers for this. i'm not sure if an egg roll wrapper is the same. |
| |
| | for sauce |
| 1 cup | sugar |
| 1/2 cup | water |
| 3/4 cup | whipping cream |
| 1-1/2 Tbsp | dark rum |
| |
| | for rolls |
| 2 large | bananas (the straighter the better) |
| 8 - 10 | strawberries, hulled and sliced |
| 1/4 cup | grated coconut, toasted if you like |
| | powdered sugar, as needed |
| 8 | egg roll wraps |
| 1 | egg white |
| |
| make sauce: |
| stir sugar and 1/2 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low |
| heat until sugar dissolves. increase heat and boil until syrup turns |
| deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and |
| swirling pan occasionally, about 12 minutes. reduce heat to low. add |
| cream (mixture will bubble vigorously) and stir until caramel bits |
| dissolve. remove from heat and mix in rum. (can be made 1 day ahead and |
| chilled. before serving, rewarm over low heat, stirring occasionally.) |
| make the rolls: working with one banana at a time, peel, and cut in |
| half. take half at a time, and quarter longways. lay a spring roll |
| wrapper with a point facing you, keeping the rest covered with a damp |
| towel to prevent them from drying out. sprinkle powdered sugar liberally |
| on the wrapper. then lay 1 quarter banana on the wrapper horizontally |
| and then layer strawberry slices across to cover. sprinkle a little |
| coconut on the strawberries, and then put another quarter banana on top |
| (like a sandwich). fold the wrapper over, then the side corners in and |
| roll up, being carefull not to tear it. seal with a little egg white. |
| keep covered with a lint free towel, and continue with the rest of the |
| banana and strawberries until you have 8 rolls. hold in the refrigerator |
| until ready to serve. |
