Indulgent Baked Bananas
It is said that chilli enhances the taste of chocolate - this is ideal as a quick pud for the BBQ. Alternatively, cook for the same time in a conventional oven at 200°c.
Preparation:
- Take four ripe bananas. Score lengthways (tip to tip) with a knife and with your fingers, create a cavity by pushing the flesh to either side.
- Take squares of the broken dark chocolate, and insert into the cavity.
- Take a little chopped red chilli and add to the filling.
- Then, wrap the banana in foil so that only the open edge is peeking through. Carefully spoon a couple of teaspoons of coconut cream into the cavity. Then wrap the foil and secure by twisting the ends.
- Once you have finished cooking your barbequed meats, place the bananas on the grill and leave for 15-20 mins, or until soft and gooey.
- Serve in their wrappers for instant satisfaction, or serve with vanilla ice cream in their skins. CAUTION- The melted chocolate and foil will be hot. Wait to cool before serving.
Useful tip:
Which is hotter- the red or the green chilli? Well, this is one of the most frequently asked questions here at Blue Dragon... more
The higher the cocoa content of the chocolate, the more indulgent and delicious the pudding will be...
We recommend anything over 70% cocoa content.
