Your beloved summer intern is pretty pumped about this recipe! To be honest, I haven't tried it yet. I just discovered it in Cassandra's Chocolate cook book, but jimney-crickets does it look fun. Barbecue? Chocolate? Bananas? Heck yes! I will try it this weekend and give everyone an update next week!
Barbecued Chocolate Bananas
Serves: 4 Prep: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
4 bananas
1 3/4 oz or 50 grams of chocolate chips
1 3/4 oz or 50 grams of miniature marshmallows
whipped cream, to serve
1. Using a sharp knife, slit the banana skins and almost through the bananas. Push chocolate chips and marshmallows into the slits, then wrap tightly in foil.
2. Place the banana and chocolate pockets on a grill rack and cook over hot coals on a lit barbecue for 10 minutes, turning after 5 minutes.
3. Open up the pockets carefully (they will be hot!) and serve the bananas with whipped cream.
Variation: For a fruitier flavor, add a selection of other fruits to each pocket, such as whole strawberries and raspberries, or peach and mango slices.
Tip: If you do not wish to use a barbecue, the banana pockets can be baked in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
I'm going to do some variations of my own. I'm thinking raspberries on the inside and served with ice cream. Hmm. Anyone else have some ideas? I think the possibilites are endless!
