Fruited Dessert Chimis with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Syrup

Fruited Dessert Chimis

I make these with all kinds of fresh fruit in combination with different nuts.  Banana Pecan or Peach Macadamia or  Strawberry almond… mix them all up on a platter and top with the warm syrup and a dash of powered sugar.  Add a cup of good hot coffee and it’s simply heaven!

1 Fresh peach or 1-cup fresh strawberries or whatever fruit is fresh

(If using a banana you don’t need to add the sugar)

1 Tbl. Granulated sugar

1/4 C Macadamia nuts, crushed

2 Tbl. Brown sugar

1/2 tsp. Ground cinnamon

8  Egg-roll wrappers

1  Egg white mixed with ½ cup water

  Oil for frying

     

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Syrup;

1 C Brown sugar

1 C Water

1  Cinnamon stick

    Rolls

1. Peel the peach, remove the pit and chop into 1/4 inch cubes.  Mix the chopped peach with the granulated sugar.

2. Set aside for 20 minutes.  Mix together the nuts, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Lay one egg-roll wrapper on a clean surface.

3. Make a line 1 inch up from the bottom that stops 1 inch in from both sides with 2 Tbl. of the nut mixture.

4. Do the same with 2 Tbl. of the chopped peaches.  Brush a line up the sides of the wrapper and fold a 1-inch flap in covering some of the filling on both sides.

5. Now brush a 2-inch line across the top of the wrapper and starting at the bottom of the wrapper roll up the filling creating a little fruit egg roll.

6. Deep-fry the rolls in 375º oil until deep brown.  Drain on paper towel.

7. Serve with brown sugar cinnamon syrup and dust with powered sugar.
