Nutella Stuffed Plantain Egg Rolls Turon

Buckle up, buttercups, because we’re about to take your taste buds on a joyride with these Nutella Stuffed Plantain Egg Rolls Turon. Imagine the crispy, golden exterior of an egg roll giving way to the sweet, gooey hug of Nutella and the caramelized goodness of ripe plantains. It’s like a dessert decided to dress up as a snack, and honestly, we’re here for it.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe plantains (the blacker, the better for sweetness)
- 1/2 cup Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread, because let’s be real, it’s all gold)
- 12 egg roll wrappers (keep them under a damp towel to prevent drying out)
- 1/4 cup water (for sealing the wrappers, just a dab’ll do ya)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (or any neutral oil for frying, because we’re not making salad here)
Instructions
- Peel the plantains and slice them lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Pro tip: A slightly angled cut gives you more surface area for that caramelized goodness.
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place a plantain strip near the bottom corner, then dollop about 1 teaspoon of Nutella on top of it. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Use a dab of water to seal the final corner. Repeat until all wrappers are filled. Remember, tight rolls prevent Nutella leaks during frying – and nobody wants that.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F. Use a candy thermometer to keep the temperature steady; too hot and they’ll burn, too cool and they’ll soak up oil like a sponge.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches, about 3-4 at a time, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Don’t crowd the pot, or you’ll drop the oil temperature and end up with soggy rolls. And let’s be honest, soggy is only good for memes, not food.
- Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let them cool for a minute unless you fancy a molten Nutella burn – we don’t judge.
