Fruit Spring Rolls with Caramelized Pineapple Sauce

Try this refreshing no-bake summer dessert

Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 3 golden kiwis, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 honeycrisp apple, cored and julienned
  • 8 strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 1 mango, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • handful of fresh mint leaves
  • 8 spring roll wrappers
  • juice from 1/2 lime

For the sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice (preferably fresh)
  • juice from 1/2 lime

Instructions

To make the sauce:

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium-high heat. Let the mixture bubble and caramelize for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

    Remove mixture from heat and carefully add the pineapple juice. Whisk to make sure it is well blended, then put back on the heat and allow to boil for up to 5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and add lime juice. Allow to cool in the fridge until it is cold and ready for use.

To assemble:

  1. Sprinkle the remaining amount of juice over the julienned apples and gently toss. Grab a large bowl and fill with warm (not hot) water. Use a cutting board or another clean, flat surface to roll the rice paper. Take one rice wrapper and gently place it, completely submerged, in the water for 5 seconds. Remove from the water and place wrapper on your cutting board. Fold up the slight bottom edge of the wrapper (about 1 inch of the wrapper) then start layering the fruit about a half inch from the bottom of the wrapper. 

    Layer the sliced strawberries, then kiwis, then apples, then mangoes, then place two small mint leaves on top. Grab the bottom of the rice wrapper and pull it up over the bottom of the layered fruit. Then, fold in the sides, just like you're wrapping a burrito. With the sides tucked in, continue rolling from the bottom towards the top of the wrapper, making sure the fruit is tucked in and tight while you're rolling. After you are finished, set the spring roll aside on a plate and continue with the remaining wrappers and fruit. Serve with pineapple sauce. Enjoy!
