Chocolate Banana Enchiladas Food

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!

CHOCOLATE-BANANA EMPANADAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mash the banana with the cinnamon and cayenne.
• Unfold crusts, one at a time. Using a 3-in. round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out 9 circles from each pie crust.
• Divide the banana mixture and chocolate chips (about 3 chips each) among the circles. Brush the edges with some of the egg, fold in half, and press with a fork to seal.
• Transfer the empanadas to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the egg and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

CHOCOLATE & BANANA CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment (allow it to come 2cm above top of tin). Mix the sugar, flour, bicarb, cocoa and chocolate in a large bowl.
• Mash the bananas in a bowl and stir in the whole egg plus 2 yolks, followed by the oil and milk. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Quickly stir the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients, stir in a quarter of the egg whites to loosen the mixture, then gently fold in the rest. Gently scrape into the tin and bake for 1 hr 10-15 mins, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin on a wire rack. To make the icing, melt the chocolate and soured cream together in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Chill in the fridge until spreadable. Remove cake from tin, roughly swirl icing over and scatter with the banana chips.

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.

CHOCOLATE-BANANA ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add mashed banana, canola oil, and vanilla. Fold in flour and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Place a dollop of batter into each tortilla, then roll up in a cylinder to form an "enchilada"; place into prepared baking dish.
• Bake "enchiladas" in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a small bowl using the microwave. Drizzle over the "enchiladas" as soon as they come out of the oven.

CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE CHUNK BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and set a rack in the middle. Butter and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, shaking off any excess flour.
• In a stand mixer, set with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until completely creamy and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and give it a minute to mix in. Add the bananas, cream cheese and vanilla, continue mixing for a minute.
• Reduce the speed to low, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and continue beating for another 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides if need be.
• In a small bowl, combine the boiling water with the cocoa powder and stir until well mixed. Add to the mixer and beat for another couple minutes. Lastly, add the chocolate chunks and beat for another minute until fully incorporated.
• Scrape into the prepared loaf pan, shake a few times to level the batter. Place into the oven and bake anywhere from 55 minutes to an hour, until a toothpick comes out moist but not wet, the top of bread has browned and is springy to the touch.
• Remove from the oven and let cool. Run a butter knife along sides of the pan, turn out onto plate, and then flip onto serving platter, so it is right side up.

CHOCOLATE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Place chocolate bar on flour tortilla.
• Wrap by folding the side closest to you over the chocolate bar and fold in sides, roll up away from you making a burrito fold. Make sure they are folded tight so no chocolate will melt out of the sides when you are frying.
• Place enough oil to coat bottom of non stick skillet. Depending on size of skillet you use, is how much oil you need. Heat oil. I have an electric glass top stove, and I turned it up to medium heat to heat the oil, and then turned it down between medium and low. This may splatter grease so make sure no kiddios are near by!
• Fry each enchilada on each side to brown.
• Place on paper towels to absorb grease.
• Place on plate.
• Scoop ice cream on top.
• Drizzle chocolate syrup over top.
• Dust with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!
