Whether you’re entertaining family and friends, or just looking for a quick dessert that looks like it’s straight from a restaurant kitchen, these Banana and Caramel Filo Rolls are just the ticket.
We’ve used filo pastry to help give these rolls a nice crunch without adding loads of extra calories, which means that they’re perfect if you’re counting calories or following a plan like Weight Watchers. It’s lighter than traditional pastry and we love how easy it is to use. You can use it for wrapping, scrunching and topping – the possibilities are endless!
We love using fruit in dessert, and bananas are so versatile. If you fancy a change from Banana Bread, try using under-ripe bananas in this delicious dessert. It’s really important to use firm, slightly under-ripe bananas for this recipe, as if you use ripe ones then they may ooze out from the filo parcels!
The 50% reduced sugar dessert topping sauce is the perfect dipping texture and sweetness and tastes sooo good, but if you’re not a fan then don’t worry: you could also serve them with a low fat chocolate sauce, sweetened quark or even our Custard – delish!

What else could you use to seal pastry? Have vegan family members.
HollyMonday 26th July 2021
Hey Sheena, you could use a dairy free milk alternative to seal the pastry and brush before going into the oven. Hope that helps!
