Hands down, the best dessert ever!

Nutella Banana Egg Rolls are a delightful fusion of Asian technique and Western flavors. Traditionally, egg rolls are savory appetizers in Asian cuisine, made from a variety of chopped vegetables and sometimes meat wrapped in a thin dough wrapper and fried until crispy. This twist includes the beloved chocolate hazelnut spread, Nutella, paired with banana, creating a sweet treat that combines the crispy outer layer of an egg roll with the gooey, rich flavors inside. This recipe is excellent for those looking to surprise their guest with a unique dessert or even as a special snack during a family movie night.

These sweet egg rolls are best served hot and fresh from the fryer. For a delightful contrast, consider pairing them with a scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream. A dusting of powdered sugar on top or a side of raspberry coulis can also enhance the flavors. For a festive gathering, serve them as part of a dessert platter alongside other mini treats such as cupcakes and fruit skewers.

Servings: 4 servings

4 egg roll wrappers
1 large banana
4 tablespoons Nutella
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

1. Begin by laying out an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, positioning it so that a corner is facing towards you (diamond shape).

2. Place 1 tablespoon of Nutella in the center of the wrapper, and top with a few slices of banana.

3. Carefully fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and finally roll it up tightly to ensure the fillings are snugly encased.

4. Use a small dab of water to secure the top corner of the wrapper to the roll to keep it from unraveling during frying.

5. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large frying pan to 375°F (190°C). Once hot, fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes each side.

6. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off the excess oil.

7. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.

For those who want to mix things up, try substituting Nutella with peanut butter or almond butter for a different flavor profile. You can also add some mini marshmallows inside the rolls for a 'smores' inspired treat. For a healthier spin, opt for a light drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon with the banana, skipping the Nutella.
