Banana Pastry Dessert

To get the best results, use ripe bananas. They’ll turn into sweet and creamy fillings. You may use any favourite fruits instead of ice-cream.

Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Yield: 2 to 4 serves

Ingredients:

• 1 piece puff pastry
• 1 to 2 ripe bananas, chopped
• 1 egg, whisked for egg wash
• ice cream for garnish, optional

Chocolate sauce:

• 50 gm dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 150 ml whipping cream
• 16 gm (1 Tbsp) sugar

Method:

1. Put the dark chocolate, whipping cream and sugar in a small sauce pan. Don’t need to bring it to boil. Just heat until the chocolate and sugar are melted. Stir consistently. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 180C / 350F. Rest puff pastry at room temperature. Slice bananas.
3. Cut the puff pastry into two halves lengthwise. Wrap the banana slices in the middle of each half of puff pastry. Use a fork to press and seal both ends. Brush whisked egg on the surface. Prick the surface with a sharp knife or fork. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with chocolate sauce and favourite ice-cream.
