Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Tbsp crystal decorating sugar or regular sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
8 canned, lychees, drained and quartered lengthwise
8 large ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
12 6-inch square spring roll wrappers
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
ice cream, your favorite flavor, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. Toss 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the cornstarch with the lychees and strawberries in a large bowl until combined.
  • 3. Mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • 4. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a work surface with a corner pointing toward you and brush the surface lightly with melted butter.
  • 5. Put 1 heaping tablespoon of the lychee mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  • 6. Bring the two side corners together so they meet over the filling.
  • 7. Bring the bottom corner up over the filling and roll the wrapper tightly around the fruit.
  • 8. Set the spring roll on the baking sheet with the exposed corner down; continue rolling with the remaining fruit and wrappers.
  • 9. Brush butter all over the surface of the rolls and sprinkle each with a little of the cinnamon sugar.
  • 10. Bake until light golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • 11. Do not overbake - the fruit will begin to break down as it cooks and can ooze out of the wrappers.
  • 12. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving with a scoop of ice cream alongside.
