For the Rolls

- 2 tbsp Brown sugar For best flavor and caramelization.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Filling and Rolling
- Lay one spring roll wrapper diagonally on a clean plate or board.
- Place a banana near the bottom third of the wrapper, cutting it if necessary.
- Spread a thin line of cheesecake filling on the banana or beside it.
- Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar over the filling.
- Fold the bottom point of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the left and right sides inward like an envelope.
- Roll tightly but gently upwards until you reach the top point and seal the edge with a dab of water.
Baking
- Place the rolls seam side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops lightly with melted butter or oil.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes, turning them halfway, until golden brown and fragrant.
Notes
Let the baked rolls cool for 5-8 minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth on the filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container. If they soften, re-bake them for a few minutes to crisp up.
