This copycat recipe for PF Chang's banana spring rolls is just as delicious, crispy and savory bites like the original. Dust it with confectioner sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce and pair with your favorite fruits.

One of my best friends from elementary school has remained my friend through high school, college and still remains a significant part of my life. We spent hours eating together in all types of restaurants and situations, from fast food to formal and quick meal at one of our homes to a picnic in the park with our family.

When it was time to throw her a birthday celebration, I knew exactly what she'd love for dessert. We both absolutely adore the banana spring rolls with the drizzled caramel sauce and a side of coconut pineapple ice cream from Pf Changs. I decided that I had to make it for her special day.

Even though it was intimidating, this recipe was really easy and tasted positively divine. The hardest part was the caramel sauce since I purchased the ice cream.

Initially, I thought I might make the ice cream, as I did find a recipe online, but then saw it in the grocery while I was shopping and decided that Haagen-Dazs was just as delicious as homemade and quicker. I was running behind as usual and was glad to delegate the task to the professionals.

So delicious topped with ice cream

The only “difficult” part is watching the caramel sauce to ensure it was perfect, while also frying the banana spring rolls. While you can make the sauce ahead, I love to make it at the time of serving, it just seems to taste better.

My husband actually helped me here, so we could get the dessert prepared and on the table in a flash. I have a different way to create caramel sauce or Dulce de Leche here.

Here's the step on how to wrap the banana egg rolls

He stirred the caramel sauce while I wrapped the bananas in the wonton wrappers and heated the oil. We then switched positions and he took over the bananas while I finished the sauce.

It went smoothly, was finished in a flash and all that was left to do was serve it with the ice cream. OMG! It was perfect and my friend loved the fact that I took the time to make her birthday so special.

Tips on how to make the banana spring rolls

1 Fill a heavy bottom pot with about ½ or 1 inch of oil. Preheat oil to 350 degrees (if using pot or deep fryer). Set two small bowls side by side, one with a scoop of brown mixed with the five spice, one with water. Separate the egg roll wrappers you are going to use, one per half banana.

2 Cut banana in half crosswise and place in the wrapper. Add slices of jackfruit and sugar mix (the amount depends on your preferences). Spread water all over the edges of the wrapper and roll it up like a burrito, sealing the ends by folding and pushing the dough together with your fingers. If a halved banana is too long, trim the edges to fit the dough. Check the picture below on how to wrap the banana spring rolls for your reference.

Tips when Frying

Fry one or two at a time, carefully turning to brown evenly on all sides (if you are frying in a saucepan). If using a deep fryer: Simply throw the banana spring rolls and let it brown. Remove from oil and slice rolls in half. Serve warm over ice cream, with berries or fruits and a drizzle of caramel / chocolate.

How to make the caramel sauce

Combine the sugar, water, and the corn syrup in a large saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to medium high, and bring to a boil.

Do not stir from this point on, but instead swirl the liquid around the pan so that the caramel doesn’t burn. Continue to cook until the caramel turns an even amber color then remove from the heat and let stand for about 30 seconds.


Tip when adding the heavy cream

Be cautious when pouring the heavy cream into the mixture. Stir the mixture with a spatula scraping the sides of the pot and combining all the ingredients. Add the butter and stir until combined. As you stir, you will see the caramel come to the consistency that you want and look like caramel.

Let the mixture cool for a few minutes and then drizzle over your dessert. This recipe makes about 1 ¼ cups.

    • 4 ripe Saba bananas (or cooking bananas)
    • 8 wonton wrappers (or egg roll wrappers)

    These look incredible. The outer shell looks so golden and crunchy. They look as if they should take a long time to prepare, but I've checked your instructions and they are not as complicated as I imagined. Regardless, making them would definitely be worthwhile for such a longstanding friend as you have.
