Sweet spring rolls differ from the savoury starters and snacks found in Asian cuisine. Instead of vegetables and other ingredients, this simple but sophisticated recipe involves wrapping high-percentage dark chocolate (85% cocoa) and banana pieces in soaked rice paper and then deep-frying them. The recipe works well with the low sugar content of the chocolate. If you prefer it a little sweeter, you can sprinkle the filling with a little brown sugar. Served with unsweetened cream, banana pieces and chocolate chips, this recipe is a quick, low-sugar dessert that is perfect for many occasions.
Why the "Fine Dark 85% Cocoa" is the perfect match to these sweet spring rolls
VIVANI’s Fine Dark 85% Cocoa Chocolate captivates with its pure, refined taste. The bar contains only three ingredients: the finest organic cocoa from the Dominican Republic with a unique flavour profile, cocoa butter and raw cane sugar. Due to its high cocoa content, the chocolate contains very little sugar (14 g per 100 g of chocolate) and is therefore ideal for those who want to enjoy a conscious treat. The strong cocoa flavour comes into its own in this reduced-sugar recipe for sweet spring rolls, as the dark chocolate melts inside the rolls during frying. This goes perfectly with the taste of bananas, which add a touch of natural fruit sweetness and thus soften the bitter notes of the chocolate.
