You’re amazing, look at the Banana and Caramel Filo Rolls dishes you’ve made…
For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!
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!

Can you prepare these say a couple of hours before cooking?
SharonWednesday 12th July 2023
Hi Fiona, we haven’t tried making our Banana and Caramel Filo Rolls ahead of time but they should be fine if you make them just a couple of hours in advance. Wrap the bananas in pastry, place on the baking tray, cover and chill until you’re ready to cook them. Then brush with egg just before cooking. Hope this helps!

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!
Maureen McFarlaneMonday 22nd March 2021
Where do you buy the caramel dipping sauce
HollyTuesday 23rd March 2021
Hey Maureen, we used the 50% less sugar Clarks Dreamy Caramel Dessert Topping in this recipe which is available in Tescos and Sainsburys hope that helps!
Nicki SmithSunday 14th February 2021
What does the 50% less sugar caramel dessert topping look like? I’ve tried Asda and Morrisons but they don’t sell it.
