Deconstructed Turon

For those who may not know what Turon is, it is a Filipino dessert made with crispy lumpia/turon wrapper, plantain, langka (jackfruit) and mascovado sugar.  The plantain and jackfruit is rolled in mascovado sugar, wrapped with lumpia wrapper and fried.  In other words, it is a banana egg roll.

This deconstructed turon has the same flavors but is presented in a new way.  It is a crispy flat lumpia/turon wrapper sprinkled with sugar in a raw with a bruleed banana, langka (jackfruit) and homemade cotton candy.  The deconstructed turon showcases the ingredients inside of the dessert opposed to the traditional turon which hides the beautiful ingredients inside.
