Banana and Cream Cheese Spring Rolls

Take your sweet cravings to the next level! These Banana and Cream Cheese Spring Rolls are sweet, melty, and fried to a perfect golden crunch. They’re deliciously addictive and practically impossible to share!

I kind of debated at first whether to post the recipe for these banana and cream cheese spring rolls here or on my other cooking blog, Kawaling Pinoy, which focuses on Filipino and Asian-inspired eats. It is, after all, turon, and it can’t get any more Filipino street food than this.

Also, I wasn’t sure if you’ll have easy access to the ingredients. However, I’ve seen cardaba bananas at Mexican grocery stores I frequent, and they seem to be available in abundance year-round. I’ve also seen spring roll wrappers at Walmart, Target, and most better supermarkets, so it shouldn’t be a problem to find. Or, you can order these spring roll wrappers on Amazon (this is an affiliate link) and enjoy convenient home delivery. 🙂

And, lastly, I think you should give these dessert spring rolls a try. I promise you’ll be the star of any party you’ll bring them to. That is, if you’ll even want to share. They’re the ultimate combination of textures and flavors with a perfectly crisp, crunchy shell and a warm, melt-in-your-mouth center of sweet bananas and rich cream cheese. You’ll be hard-pressed to eat just one!

Ingredient notes

Spring roll wrappers are NOT the same as egg roll wrappers you commonly find at major supermarkets. Although they look the same, they’re different in texture and taste. While the latter is thicker and “eggy”, spring roll wrappers are paper-thin and fry up into a shatteringly crisp crunch, which is perfect for these dessert rolls.
