    The warm caramelized banana filled egg roll pairs perfectly with creamy coconut ice cream and sweet rum sauce.

    Ripe banana dessert recipe

    I love a good inventive recipe that uses ripe bananas. We all have them and aside from Banana Bread most people don’t know what else to do with ripe bananas other than tossing in the trash. Prevent food waste and learn a few new ripe banana recipes! Like Banana Chiffon Cake, Banana Pudding, Strawberry Banana Muffins and these Bananas Foster Egg Rolls.

    Based on my favorite dessert from nationwide chain, PF Changs this is an amazing and delicious inventive ripe banana recipe. After ordering this every time I went to P.F Chang’s I decided to make my own version. It’s similar to turon, the traditional Filipino banana lumpia dessert that P.F Chang’s most likely used as inspiration for their dessert. Like the restaurant chain, I serve my version mine with coconut ice cream.  I also add a delicious rum caramel sauce drizzled and served alongside for dipping.

    Ripe banana recipe that's not banana bread! Crispy banana eggrolls with caramel sauce

    The perfect end for dinner parties. These Banana Egg Rolls have made so many appearances on my table over the years! I love that they can be made ahead of time and quickly fried up while the caramel sauce is warming. An impressive 5 minute dessert that will have your guests in awe of how quickly they came together and how addictingly tasty they are.

    Ingredients

    • Ripe bananas – or any banana, really. Slightly ripe and even a little green bananas will work in this recipe if that’s all you have.
    • Egg roll wrappers – found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store
    • Butter
    • Dark brown sugar
    • Dark rum
    • Salt
    • Oil – for frying
    • Coconut ice cream – also delicious served with vanilla or coffee ice cream or mango sorbet.

    1. Enjoy!
    enjoy!

    Make ahead

    Egg rolls can be prepared up until the frying stage and the caramel sauce can be made ahead of time. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply reheat sauce and fry egg rolls before serving. Or wrap and freeze untried egg rolls then fry from frozen.

    How to reheat

    On the off chance that you have leftovers, I don’t recommend devouring straight from the fridge. Take my word for it, no matter how much they are calling to you it’s best to to reheat them in the oven. So much better reheated and crispy rather than cold or microwaved.

      WOW, I was really hoping to hold up my diet this week but I may need to break that for these. I love using egg roll wrappers but never thought to put bananas in them! Can't wait to try.
