General Information

  • Preparation time: 10 minutes
  • Cooking time: 3 minutes
  • Recipe for 4 people (8 spring rolls)

Ingredients

  • 20cl liquid cream
  • 15g caster sugar
  • 250g dark chocolate
  • 4 sheets of brick pastry
  • 1 banana, peeled and cut into 8 rectangles (3cm long by 1cm wide)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Grapeseed oil or melted butter
  • Homemade raspberry confit (crush 125g raspberries with 15g sugar and a pinch of green anise)

Preparation

  • Bring the cream and sugar to a boil, then pour over the chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  • Cut the brick pastry sheets in half lengthwise. Place a banana piece and a spoonful of chocolate ganache on each. Trim the curved edge to straighten, roll once, fold sides inward, then roll tightly 3 more times. Seal with egg yolk using a brush. Brush lightly with grapeseed oil or melted butter to prevent drying.
  • Fry in a 180°C oil bath until golden. Drain on paper towels using a skimmer. Serve hot with raspberry confit, ice cream, or whipped cream.
