The Unique P.F. Chang's Dessert Fans Can't Get Enough Of

You may not step into P.F. Chang's with dessert immediately on the mind. Firecracker shrimp bowls, ma po tofu, and pork dumplings are probably higher up on your list of items to order. That's fair enough, but we are here to direct you to a sweet dish that cannot be skipped. Though the Great Wall of Chocolate Cake is one of the most popular menu items, P. F. Chang's banana spring rolls are a seriously underrated menu item and deserve a spot at your table.

If you've enjoyed snacking on air fryer bananas or cutting into homemade banana lumpia, wait until you get a bite of P.F. Chang's crunchy, delicious morsels. Banana fans are sure to enjoy that sweet caramelization that comes with frying the fruit. When topped with swirls of vanilla caramel, this fruit-based dish is not to be slept on. Not only are you getting fruit in your system, but the sweet profile of this dessert will quickly silence any sweet cravings that were talking. To send your taste buds directly to the tropics, P.F. Chang's serves banana spring rolls with coconut pineapple ice cream. As a final flourish, strawberries and blueberries crown this decadent masterpiece, turning what might be a cloying spread into a perfectly balanced treat that is fresh and satisfying. We're not the only ones who think so. Netizens have taken to social forums to gush over this dessert, agreeing that the spring rolls are a must-try dessert, and that everything about the presentation is "so good."

One user who picked up an order to take home from P.F. Chang's was treated to the dessert on the house. Even in a packaged takeaway container, P.F. Chang's rolled-up pieces of fried fruity goodness are tasty temptations. If you don't see yourself wandering into a P.F. Chang's anytime soon, however, and want to recreate the dish at home, copycat recipes have sprouted up online. Frying up bananas wrapped in spring roll or wonton wrappers is not only an entertaining culinary project, but you get the added benefit of indulging in the comfort of your home while wearing your coziest sweatpants.

Customize plates with the ice cream flavors and cut fruits of your choosing, and though the caramel drizzle is a standout feature of P.F. Chang's dessert, you can enhance your own desserts with Nutella and chocolate swirls. Some creative fans have made the dessert in the air fryer and have managed to achieve that crispy crust on the outside of each spring roll, no frying in oil needed. Top pieces with ground cinnamon sugar or cardamom powder, and you'll have a treat that might impress friends and family just as much as those gushing about the dessert online.
