Ingredients:

  • 4 scoops coconut & raspberry gelato

  • 4 rice paper sheets

  • 1 ripe banana, thinly sliced

  • 4 tbsp shaved coconut

  • 4 tbsp roasted crushed peanuts

  • 4 tsp condensed milk, to drizzle

Method:

  1. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for 5–10 seconds until just soft and pliable, then lay it flat on a clean, damp tea towel.

  2. In the centre of the sheet, place a scoop of gelato, a few banana slices, 1 tablespoon of shaved coconut, and 1 tablespoon of crushed peanuts. Drizzle lightly with condensed milk.

  3. Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper up over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly to enclose — just like a burrito or spring roll.

  4. Repeat with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling. Serve immediately for a soft, chewy texture, or chill in the freezer for 10–15 minutes for a firmer, more street-style finish.
