FRIED BANANAS FOSTER

Steps:

• Prepare the bananas: Place granulated sugar in a shallow pie plate or baking dish. Toss bananas in sugar; shake off excess.
• Place 4 spring roll wrappers on a work surface with 1 point facing you (so that they look like diamonds). Place 1 banana on each wrapper, 1 inch above bottom point. Carefully begin wrapping banana from the bottom up, keeping the roll as tight as possible. Fold in the sides of the wrapper (like a burrito). Brush 1 inch of top point with some of the beaten egg, and continue to wrap, pressing to secure roll. Repeat with remaining bananas, wrappers, and egg. Place rolls in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with a damp paper towel. Freeze 1 hour.
• Heat oil to 325°F in a large Dutch oven. Fry banana rolls, 2 or 3 at a time, until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Prepare the sauce: Cook brown sugar and butter in a skillet over medium-high, whisking constantly, until melted and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Tilt pan away from you, and carefully add the rum, whisking until smooth. Remove pan from heat, and stir in cream and pepper.
• Slice banana rolls in half diagonally. Spoon sauce over top, sprinkle with pecans, and serve with ice cream.
