Milk Tart Spring Rolls

Milk Tart is a favourite dessert in our house. The crust with the milky filling, sprinkled in cinnamon, not only smells good, but it tastes awesome.

When I came across this recipe for Milk Tart Spring Rolls, the boys begged me to give them a go. I have never used spring roll pastry before, so I wasn’t exactly sure how it was going to work out. We did find that the milky filling in the above recipe was not as sweet as the filling I usually make for the milk tart, so I used the filling I normally use when I make a milk tart, which we found sweeter.

Instructions

 

• Heat milk and sugar together in a saucepan. Mix some of the warm milk with the flour to make a paste and then mix back into the milk mixture. Add egg yolks and salt. Cook until thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add the butter and vanilla essence. Fold in the lightly beaten egg whites.
• Allow milk filling to cool.
• To make the Spring Rolls
• Place a wrapper on a board and brush the 4 sides with egg white.
• Place a heaped teaspoon of the milk tart mixture onto the wrapper at the end closest to you.
• Fold in the sides and then roll up.
• Constantly wet you fingers with the egg white and make sure there are no holes for the milk tart mixture to run out.
• Heat your oil very hot and fry the spring rolls, a couple at a time, until golden brown.
• Remove from the oil and immediately roll in cinnamon sugar.

Notes

Your frying oil needs to be very hot as it must make the spring roll brown quickly.
If it isn't hot enough, the filling will heat up and the spring rolls will burst open.
