I made eggrolls that didn't turn out so great because I followed a recipe that said to bake them. I won't be making that mistake again. Just suck it up and have the extra calories. The taste is well worth the fat. Anyway, I had three eggroll wrappers left over and decided to make a little dessert out of them with some things I had within easy reach.
I considered using apples and making an apple pie/ apple empanada type thing, but didn't want to go through the effort of chopping the apples. So I looked to the banana for a tropical inspiration.
This was sort of a spur of the moment thing and I didn't take a lot of pictures, but since I have pictures of myself wrapping eggrolls I can show you how to roll them and a few other pics.
In this horrible, dark picture there is an eggroll wrapper, banana, brown sugar, sweetened coconut, and sliced almonds, and a little drop of vanilla extract. To wrap, place your items on the wrapper on the diagonal, which isn't so much what I did here, but turned into that when I started to wrap it. You'll find other methods out there on how to wrap an eggroll. I found that this method worked best for me when I did mine. These pics are of vegetable eggrolls that were too wet, not my dessert.
Step 1 -- fold in your sides.
Step 2 -- Fold up the bottom, while keeping the corners and sides nicely tucked in.
Step 3 -- roll up from the bottom and tuck everything in on the sides while rolling. Rub a little water or butter or whatever is wet on the top corner to help the wrapper to stick together when it's completely rolled.
