Pisang cokelat (chocolate banana in Indonesian) or sometimes colloquially abbreviated as piscok,[1] is an Indonesian sweet snack made of slices of banana with melted chocolate or chocolate syrup, wrapped inside thin crepe-like pastry skin and deep-fried.[2] Pisang cokelat is often simply described as "choco-banana spring rolls".[1] It is often regarded as a hybrid between pisang goreng (fried banana) and lumpia (spring roll).
The type of banana being used is similar to pisang goreng: preferably pisang uli, pisang kepok or pisang raja sereh. The skin used for wrapping is usually the readily available lumpia skin.[3] In Indonesia, pisang cokelat is regarded as a variant of pisang goreng, and categorized asgorengan (Indonesian assorted fritters) and sold together with other fried food such as fried tempeh, tahu goreng and pisang goreng. It is a common snack that can be found from streetside kakilima cart to cafés and upscale restaurants.[2]
Pisang cokelat is almost identical to the Philippines' turon, which is actually a banana lumpia, except in this Indonesian version, chocolate content is mandatory.
