I got some of these refrigerated rice paper rounds and thought I could use
them for desserts. Alas, searching for recipes was not promising. Found one
with chocolate and bananas. Didn't look at the recipe as the person I'm
making dessert for does not like bananas. Found one by Giada that is filled
with fruit and Pad Thai noodles. As I read the recipe, I envisioned a slimy
mess and indeed, some of the reviewers agreed with me but they did say that
the dipping sauce was delicious. Found a similar recipe with just fruit but
also mixed reviews.

The problem as I see it is that wrappers were just soaked in water and used
as is. One reviewer said this was a summer roll and not a spring roll as a
spring roll would be fried or possibly baked.

I was envisioning something crispy.

I have made quick desserts using Phyllo dough that was cut in strips, then
piled into a nest, filled with fruit and baked. Was hoping to recreate
something like this but gluten free. I have not been able to locate any
prepared gluten free Phyllo dough. I have seen recipes but they call for
things like Expandex. Not even sure what that is. And I imagine that making
Phyllo dough from scratch would be a pain! I made puff pastry from scratch
many years ago and remember how fussy that was. I did buy premade gluten
free puff pastry but it's not cheap.

Has anyone successfully used these wrappers to make a dessert? If so, could
you give me the details?

Another thing I might try... The next time I make something with Pad Thai
noodles is to save some out and see how they fry up. I used to make snacks
with leftover pasta, set on paper towels to dry, then fried. Larger shapes
as is, spaghetti and the like, dropped in small nests. Fry then sprinkle
with salt for savory or powdered sugar for sweet.

Ideally he wants a crispy texture with fruit. He prefers blueberries but
also likes strawberries. Suggestions welcome but must be wheat free. Thanks!
