Makes: 10
Prep: 20-30 mins
Ingredients
- 10 rice paper wraps
Strawnana: Filling 1
- 8 blueberries (when in season)
- 6 strawberries
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Strawberry salad: Filling 2
- ½ cup baby spinach
- 6-10 fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Fruit salad: Filling 3
- 6 strawberries
- 1-2 kiwi fruit
- 1 apple
- 1 tin mandarin segments
- 6 mint leaves, optional
Dip
- 1 cup natural yoghurt
- 2 teaspoons honey (adjust according to taste)
Directions
Wash and prepare the fruit:
-
- Hull and slice the strawberries into thin slices
- Peel and cut the kiwis into thin slices
- Drain the tinned mandarins
- Peel and cut banana into thick slices
- Slice the apple (Why not have the kids help out with our Foost first or next knife?)
Prepare the rice paper wraps
- In a large bowl soak the rice paper wrap in warm water for about 20-30 seconds (as per packet instructions)
- The wrap should be pliable, but still slightly firm, as it will soften while you put in the filling
- Place onto a large plate and start adding fruit straight away
- Do one wrap at a time
Create desert spring rolls
- For filling 1: Lay two slices of strawberries, a few blueberries and banana in the middle of strawberries. Sprinkle with coconut. Do another layer of banana and strawberry
- For filling 2: Lay 4-5 slices of strawberry, use a pastry brush to wipe strawberries with balsamic vinegar. Top with 2-3 basil leaves. Top with approx 10 spinach leaves
- For filling 3: Lay two slices of kiwi, 2 mint leaves and 2 slices of strawberries. Top with 4 slices of apple and 3-4 mandarin segments
- To fold the rice paper roll up from the bottom to cover the fillings, then fold each side and roll
- Ensure that you pull the rice paper taught to get the best result
- Place onto a plate and repeat with the rest of the rice paper wraps
- To make the dip for filling 1 and 3, simply mix the honey with the yoghurt
- Dip the rice paper rolls into the dip and enjoy
Notes
You can use many combinations of fruit- try kiwi, strawberry, pomegranate seeds and mango (fresh, frozen or tinned).
Another great dip for these is a juice of ½ lemon, juice of ½ lime and 1 teaspoon of honey.
