Ingredients

  • 4 fresh medium figs (cut into wedges, about 3 to 4 wedges per roll)
  • 3.5 oz Brie cheese (cut into 6 to 8 thick strips)
  • 6-8 slices Prosciutto
  • 6-8 Spring roll wrappers (harumaki skins)
  • 1 tbsp All-purpose flour + 1 tbsp Water (mixed together into a flour slurry)
  • Coarsely ground black pepper
  • Neutral oil for deep frying (vegetable, canola, or rice bran oil)

For Serving & Dipping:

  • 1-2 tbsp Honey (for drizzling)
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze (for dipping)
  • 1 tbsp Whole grain or Dijon mustard (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

  • Slice the fresh figs into wedges. You will need 3 to 4 wedges per spring roll for a juicy, fruit-filled bite.

  • Cut the brie cheese into thick strips that fit within the spring roll wrapper. Mix 1 tablespoon flour with 1 tablespoon water in a small dish to make your flour slurry.

  • Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a cutting board with a corner pointing toward you (diamond orientation). Using your finger, spread a thin border of flour slurry along all four outer edges of the wrapper.

  • Fold the left and right corners inward, and roll snugly toward the top. Press the edges firmly to create an airtight seal (this keeps the cheese from leaking into the oil!).

  • Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 340°F (170°C). Carefully lower the spring rolls into the hot oil. Deep fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wrappers are crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to drain off excess oil.

Notes

  • Reheating Leftovers (Air Fryer Hack): Never microwave leftover spring rolls! To restore 100% of their original crispiness, pop cold spring rolls into an air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Cheese Variations: While brie offers a rich, melted texture, you can easily swap it for cream cheese, goat cheese, gouda, or sharp white cheddar.
  • Dipping Sauce Tip: Adding a small dollop of whole-grain or Dijon mustard next to the balsamic vinegar brings a gentle spicy zest that balances the sweet figs and rich cheese beautifully.
  • Large Figs: If working with large figs (~150g each), use 3 figs cut into 8 wedges each to make 8 spring rolls.
