My Version of Citi Field’s Rainbow Cookie Eggroll
Italian Rainbow cookies or 3-color cookies are just about the perfect cookie, But Citi Field has found a way to elevate them in the most delicious way!
They have taken the rainbow cookie, raspberry preserves and chocolate sauce and rolled it all up in an eggroll wrapper, and fried it.
It was on the menu at Citi Field for the 2024 season and they just brought it back this season for a limited rum. It seems fans want it back permanently! Last year I made a version of it at home and posted the process on my Instagram .
But this year, because of it’s popularity I’m including it in my MLB Stadium Dessert Series.
My version is close to the original. I spread raspberry preserves on the wrapper before rolling up the cookie. After frying, i drizzled it with chocolate sauce and dusted with powdered sugar. Because you can’t have an Italian dessert without powdered sugar.
You can find them at Wok N’ Roll in center field, when available.
STAR BAKER TIPS:
⭐️In the video I used a solid piece of rainbow cookie approximately 2 1/2″ x 1/2″. That is probably about 4-5 cookies, put together, that you could buy at a bakery. They will definitely turn out better with one solid piece. You might be able to ask a bakery to cut the cookie to the dimensions needed and you can always bake them yourself . These cookies freeze very well so you could cut them to the dimensions you need, individually wrap and freeze and defrost whatever you need.
⭐️Egg Roll wrappers are easy to find at your local supper market. There are quite a few in a pack age. To use up the remaining wrappers, cut them into strips and fry until golden brown. They make a great crunchy addition to salads.
⭐️The recipe makes 4, but you can make as many as you like!!!
