Banana And Chocolate Fool Food

GRILLED CHOCOLATE BANANA FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high heat.
• Slice banana lengthwise and slightly open. Place on a rectangle of aluminum foil.
• Insert marshmallows and chocolate chips into the sliced banana.
• Wrap banana up in foil and cook on the grill for 5-6 minutes or bake at 400°F for 5-6 minutes and broil until marshmallows are lightly toasted.
• Unwrap banana and top with cereal. After melt has slightly cooled eat with a spoon.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED BANANAS

Steps:

• Peel and cut the bananas in half crosswise, so that you have 8 pieces. Place peeled bananas on sticks. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place bananas on the cookie sheet in the freezer, keep them in there as long as possible, at least 10 minutes. Heat chocolate bits with butter in a double boiler over low heat until the chocolate melts and butter is incorporated. Dip the chilled bananas in chocolate and roll with your favorite topping. Chill or freeze until ready to serve.

BANANA AND CHOCOLATE FOOL

Steps:

• blend the bananas in a food processor with the lemon juice and sweetner if using.
• transfer the banana mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the fromage frais.
• divide the mixture between 4 ramekin or sundae dishes. sprinkle over the grated chocolate and chill the fools in the fridge until firm.
• I usually let these chill for around 30mins but you could leave them as long as you want.

FRIED CHOCOLATE AND BANANA RAVIOLI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the banana, sugar and walnuts. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each won ton wrapper. Put about a teaspoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread in the center of each wrapper and top with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the banana mixture. Fold 1 corner of each won ton wrapper diagonally over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Fill a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with about 3/4-inch oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you dont have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 2 minutes.) Fry the ravioli, 2 or 3 at a time, turning occasionally, until golden, about 60 to 70 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Cool for 2 minutes and serve warm.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or a BBQ). Make a slit through the skin of the bananas along one side - making sure you don't cut all the way through to the other side. Poke in the chocolate buttons along the cut. Put each banana onto a sheet of foil and crimp the edges together to seal into a parcel. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 25 mins until the bananas have turned black (or pop straight into the BBQ embers for 15 mins).
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream and any melted chocolate that has escaped!
