Best Fruit Filled Spring Rolls Recipes

FRUIT FILLED SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Set up a wrapping 'station'. Have a large baking dish (big enough to completely submerge a rice paper sheet) filled with warm water.
• Next to that, have your package of rice paper, then your fruit, then your large plate, paper towels or a kitchen towel, then serving plate covered with plastic wrap.
• Place one rice paper sheet into water and press down softly to cover. Allow to sit 1 minute, then pull out gently- don't tear it! Place it flat down on plate and place slices of banana and strawberry at the bottom corner.
• Fold up corner, then fold over. Wrap in the sides, then roll all the way up. It should look like a small egg roll. Best is 4 slices banana and a little over half a strawberry per roll.
• Its better to under fill than to overfill, as the paper will tear. Place on your serving plate and cover with the plastic wrap.
• Wipe off your rolling plate and repeat with remaining sheets and fruit, placing under plastic wrap after each one to keep from drying out.
• After all wraps are used up, uncover rolls and (with a very sharp knife), cut each in half on the diagonal. Arrange attractively on a serving plate and divide soy yogurt between 4 small dipping bowls (1 for each person). Garnish with a drizzle of sauce and a sprig of mint.
• variations:
• * Try serving this on Asian plates with small dipping sauce bowls to match and eating with chopsticks.
• * Great with any fruit you would like. Great ones to try: Peaches, Pineapple, Coconut shreds, small Apple chunks, chopped Cherries, Mandarin orange segments (patted dry first), Mango, papaya, pear, etc.
• * A great sauce to try drizzled on bananas inside the roll: vegan chocolate melted with a bit of peanut butter- its very easy to make these look elegant and taste delicious!
• * Try any dipping sauce you'd like. Blended fruit and applesauce is great, all different types of soy yogurt work, and a creamy dip made with coconut milk or coconut cream. (You can find it in Asian food stores in powdered form.) Shredded coconut, flavoring (like vanilla or almond extract, ginger or cinnamon) and vegan sugar or syrup simmered down is wonderful. Serve all the sauces cold and thick!

FRUIT SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Mix the cheese and sugar till well blended set aside Chop the strawberries very small set aside
• 2. Wet the rice paper wrapper. Dip the dry rice paper wrapper into a large bowl of warm water. This softens up the wrapper so you can roll it. Spring roll wrappers have a rough side and a smooth side. You want to place the smooth side facing down on the rolling surface.
• 3. Place a rounded spoonful of filling near one edge of the wrapper. Add tsp of strawberries Fold up the bottom of the wrapper. The bottom of the wrapper is the part that is closest to the filling. Fold this up over the filling and press down slightly. Fold over the sides. Fold both the right and left sides of the spring roll wrapper over until the ends of the two sides meet in the middle. Roll it up. Continue to hold onto the sides as you make the first roll because they are still a little slippery at this point. Once you have the first roll completed, you can let go of the sides and continue rolling the spring roll until you reach the end of the rice paper wrapper.
• 4. Pat dry with a paper towel lightly Deep fry 1 or 2 at a time at 350 degrees turning over once till golden brown on both sides, Drain.
• 5. Let cool 10 min Top with whipped topping
