Time 30m

Yield 12 nuggets

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 banana, peeled and chopped into 12 disks
6 spring roll wrappers, thawed if frozen
vegetable oil, for deep frying
icing sugar, for dusting
12 small chunks chocolate (See Variations in directions) (optional)
12 small sliced cream cheese (See Variations in directions) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut each spring roll wrapper in half.
  • Brush the piece of wrapper with water to soften it, place a piece of banana at one end and roll it up just like you were rolling a spring roll - don't worry about making it too neat.
  • Continue with all the rest of the banana pieces and wrappers.
  • Heat a lot of oil in a wok, pan or deep fryer.
  • Take a small square of the wrappers or a cube of bread to test if the oil is hot enough - if the oil fizzles around it and it crisps up quickly then the oil is hot enough.
  • Deep fry the wrapped bananas in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes or until they're browned slightly. Remove and drain on paper towel.
  • Roll them in the icing sugar and eat them immediately while they're nice and hot.
