chocolate banana lumpia

  • Chocolate Banana Lumpia
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2-3 large bananas, cut in half and then cut into 1/2  inch strips (should have about 25-30 slices)
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate morsels
  • 12-15 lumpia wrappers (If you can’t find these you can substitute spring roll wrappers)
  • cup of water to help seal the wrappers
  • oil for frying
  1. Dredge bananas in brown sugar to lightly coat.
  2. Separate the lumpia wrappers and cover with a damp towel to keep them from drying out. Using one wrapper, lay 2 pieces of the sugar coated banana end to end about an inch from the edge closest to you, and sprinkle about 4 dark chocolate morsels over banana. Working away from you, fold the lumpia wrapper over the banana and chocolate. Next fold in both sides, wet the end of the wrapper and roll to seal completely. Continue process until all lumpia are rolled.
  3. Heat about 3/4 of an inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.  Once the oil hot, fry the lumpia until golden brown. Remove to paper towel lined plate . Let cool slightly. Serve.
We always had some kind of sauce to dip our lumpia into growing up, so I thought we should have some for this chocolate banana version. And what goes better with bananas and chocolate than strawberries? I simply combined 2 cups of sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar in a small saucepan and cooked over medium-low heat, until it reached a sauce consistency, about 15-20 minutes.
