Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons crystal decorating sugar or regular sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 8 - canned, lychees, drained and quartered lengthwise

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

How To Make strawberry-lychee spring rolls

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    Toss 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the cornstarch with the lychees and strawberries in a large bowl until combined.
  • Step 3
    Mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Step 4
    Lay a spring roll wrapper on a work surface with a corner pointing toward you and brush the surface lightly with melted butter.
  • Step 5
    Put 1 heaping tablespoon of the lychee mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  • Step 6
    Bring the two side corners together so they meet over the filling.
  • Step 7
    Bring the bottom corner up over the filling and roll the wrapper tightly around the fruit.
  • Step 8
    Set the spring roll on the baking sheet with the exposed corner down; continue rolling with the remaining fruit and wrappers.
  • Step 9
    Brush butter all over the surface of the rolls and sprinkle each with a little of the cinnamon sugar.
  • Step 10
    Bake until light golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Step 11
    Do not overbake - the fruit will begin to break down as it cooks and can ooze out of the wrappers.
  • Step 12
    Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving with a scoop of ice cream alongside.
