Dessert chocolate banana Spring rolls
Chocolate banana spring rolls were suddenly a viral hit over the past few years in Malaysia. You can find a lot of new road side stalls and home bakers popping up, giving their fresh take on this delicious treat. It’s known as “popiah pisang” in Malay, which can be shortened to “popis”.
All you need to do is to slice the bananas in half, then wrap them in spring roll wrapper, before frying to golden perfection. Once that’s done, we drizzle it with melted chocolate and add a dusting of cooking crumble.
This dessert is very similar to ones that are enjoyed by Malaysia’s neighbouring countries. Like the decadent Turon (aka banana lumpia) in the Philippines, or even the delicious lumpia pisang in Indonesia.

how to make chocolate banana spring rolls (popia pisang)
- Slice a banana in half and remove the peel. Slice the halved bananas in half lengthwise.
- Place a slice of the halved banana at the corner of the spring roll wrapper and fold twice towards the center. Fold the sides towards the center and continue folding until the edge. Use water to seal the edge.

- Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
Melted chocolate
- Break the chocolate squares into smaller pieces and transfer to a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave at 20 seconds interval, making sure to stir at each interval. Keep doing this until the chocolate fully melts.
