Hi Bold Bakers!
We all know and love the traditional savory rice paper Spring Roll but have you ever seen a Fresh Fruit Spring Roll? They are rice paper rolls filled with slices of Fresh Strawberries, Peaches, Melon and Mango, all wrapped up to make the perfect healthy portable snack.
There is no cooking required, just combine all of the fruit and let the fresh flavors speak for themselves. These Fruit Spring Rolls are great for picnics, the beach or for summer parties. And just like a traditional roll, you can serve it with a dipping sauce made from zesty Limes and a little honey.
An added bonus of my Summer Fruit Spring Rolls is that they are full of all natural sugars, are suitable for Vegans and are gluten free.
If you think this recipe is fun and creative then you will love my Fruit Sushi, which is also vegan and gluten free.

Summer Fruit Spring Rolls
Ingredients
- 8 strawberries
- ½ cantaloupe melon
- 1 peach
- 1 mango
- 1 apple
- 1 lemon
- Bunch of mint
- 8 rice paper wraps
- For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey (or agave)
- Zest and juice of 1 Lime
- 3 tablespoons water , to thin out sauce, if needed
Instructions
- Peel the melon and mango and cut it into slices and then into matchstick-shaped pieces.
- Hull and slice the strawberries into thin slices.
- Quarter the apple and remove the seeds. Slice and cut into matchsticks as well (squeeze a little lemon juice over to stop them turning brown)
- With the peach, cut in half to remove the stone. Then cut like the other fruit.
- In a large bowl, add warm water and soak the rice paper wraps for about 20 seconds. When it starts to go soft remove it from the water. If the wrappers are too sticky to use, it means they spent too long in the water. The wrap should be pliable, but still slightly firm, as it will soften while you put in the filling.
- Place the rice paper smooth side down on a chopping board. Place the fruit towards the middle of the wrapper.
- Start to roll the spring roll like a burrito. Fold the wrapper over the filling, fold in 2 sides and roll to seal. Take care when rolling as your wrapper can rip.
- For the dipping sauce: Mix together all of the ingredients and serve with your rolls. Trust me you don’t want to leave this sauce out, it’s delicious.

The less time the rice paper wrappers spend in the water the easier they will be to use and roll. Have all of your fruit ready before you starting rolling your spring rolls. Rice Paper Wrappers are gluten free
I have made Regular spring rolls with my Vietnamese sister and she always added some cilantro leaves for color. I’ll bet mint leaves would be gorgeous added in with the strawberry slices.
Gemma, this recipe looks fantastic. Can’t wait to try it. I am a special needs teacher of 8 students with autism. We cook once a week, and it’s a challenge to find recipes simple enough and popular enough! This one will be a hit I’m sure. Lots of chopping practice, fine motor to roll them up and very healthy too! Thank you. I’ll try to take photos when we make them this summer.
I made these tonight with leftover spring roll wrappers (bought on Amazon). I made a cream cheese/sugar/vanilla paste to add to the fresh mint, cantaloupe, nectarine and strawberries inside. My husband loved it with blueberry jam/lime juice/honey dipping sauce.
Hi Gemma, how long do these keep after they are made? I have a toddler and she loves fruit. But I noticed on your recipe that you didn’t mention how long these keep in the refrigerator.
Gemma, this recipe looks wonderful. I’ve made regular spring rolls before but found that if I put them in the refrigerator until serving time, the rice paper gets very sticky and the rolls stick together. Please, do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
This is the recipe that brought me to your channel! It showed up as an add on a YouTube video years ago and three videos later I was hooked!
Hello, Gemma witch kind of fruits can I use??
Hi Gemma,
Could you use pineapple & mandarin oranges too or are they too acidic?
Also, could these be lightly deep fried & sprinkled with powdered sugar?
My apologies for misnaming you, I had my sister in my head ????????
Hola Michelle, marvelous recipe ????????????
Think it could work with a spread of ice cream? Á la minute of course.
Thank you.
