Once we held a catering for graduating students of one university in Region IV. Prior to this occasion, we made a quotation of menu with chicken pandan as appetizer, fish fillet, caldereta, braised pork, and some vegetables. When it comes to dessert, I have to think of something unique than the usual desserts. I decided to use banana or the concept of turon to make a unique dessert but will still have the essence of Filipino style of dessert.
In fine dining restaurants and Catering Services Menu banana is combined with apples and wrapped in crepe and strawberry cream sauce, which is platted in medium sized platter with cherries. But during this event, we decided to make a dessert with this concept but with a touch of Filipino style.
Turon Dessert Recipe:
- 2 pieces banana strips
- Small slices of ripe mango
- Lumpia wrapper
- 1 scoop of Vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate sauce
- Chocolate bar
- All purpose cream
- Cherries/buko (strips) or sprinkles
Procedure:
- Place the banana across the center of the lumpia wrapper. With enough space at the side to be able to fold it in a square style wrapping.
- Place the ripe mangoes on top of the banana.
- Wrapped the banana and mango in a square style folding.
- Repeat the procedure until all bananas, ripe mangoes and wrapper are used.
- Quick fry the turon for 1-2 minutes per side and set aside.
- Make a chocolate sauce using chocolate bar and all purpose cream. Cooked them in a medium heat and stir until spongy. Set aside.
- In a plater, put the turon at the center, place one or two scoop of vanilla ice cream (depends on your preference).
- Top with chocolate sauce with cherries, buko or sprinkles.
- And served it to guests.
It is easy to do and easy to serve. People will enjoy and love this food for it is tasty and colored combination that will surely appealing to kids and adults. There is a lot of combination when it comes to dessert, you only have to try and taste it as well. So just enjoy this dessert!!!
