Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 4-ounce bar semisweet chocolate, chopped
Small pinch cayenne pepper (less than 1/16 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 slightly underripe bananas, split lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise in half
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • For the chocolate sauce: Combine the chocolate and 1/4 cup water in a heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until the sauce is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in small pinch cayenne pepper. Set aside.
  • For the bananas: Place the brown sugar in a pie dish or on a plate. Toss the bananas in the brown sugar until nicely coated. Melt the butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter becomes golden brown. Add the bananas to the hot pan cut-side down. Turn the bananas over as soon as they are golden brown and the sugar forms a crunchy coat on the bananas, about 30 seconds per side (do not allow bananas to become soft and mushy). Divide the bananas between 2 shallow bowls or plates. Spoon the chocolate sauce over the bananas. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds, and serve immediately.
  • Cook's Notes: To toast the almonds, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.
  • An alternate way to melt the chocolate is to combine the chocolate and water in a small metal bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water, and stir the chocolate mixture until melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from over the water and set aside.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup corn starch
2 tblsp baking powder
2 tblsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 yolks
1 1/2 cup club soda
1 bunch barely ripe bananas
veetable oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Preheat your oil in a heavy-based pot for deep frying to 365 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and add the yolks and club soda. Using a whisk, stir from the inside working your way out, slowly incorporating the dry ingredients without forming any lumps. Peel the bananas and dip in the batter and coat well. Fry in hot oil until batter is puffy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels when done. We served this with ice cream, chocolate sauce, and chocolate cake. It suggests serving it with ice cream, banana chips, and caramel sauce. Honestly, you could serve it with cough syrup and it would be delicious.
