Time 31m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans
1 medium-ripe banana, sliced lengthwise in quarters
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush 1 phyllo sheet with some of the melted butter. Sift 2 tablespoons of the confectioners' sugar evenly on top. Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of the nuts. Cut the phyllo sheet in half lengthwise. Place 1/4 of the banana along a short edge of each phyllo half. Starting with the short end, tightly roll up the banana in the phyllo. When you get almost to the end, dab a little bit of honey along the edge to help seal the package. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Just before baking, brush the tops of the strudels with more of the melted butter and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper or a nonstick liner). Bake until the strudels are golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
  • Serving suggestion: Whipped creme fraiche.

BANANA CHOCOLATE STRUDEL

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped with a heavy knife
3 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, kept moist
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups walnuts (black walnuts if you can find them), lightly toasted and finely chopped
2 bananas, peeled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with waxed paper. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the cream cheese until soft and smooth. Add the egg yolk and mix. Add the confectioners' sugar, the vanilla and cinnamon and mix. Add the chocolate and mix just until incorporated. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip (or just set aside in a bowl).
  • Transfer 1 sheet of phyllo to the prepared pan. Using a pastry brush, brush the phyllo with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons of the ground walnuts, and lay another sheet of phyllo on top. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 3 tablespoons of walnuts. Repeat with third sheet of phyllo. Reserve the remaining melted butter, sugar, and walnuts.
  • Pipe half the cheese filling in a line along one short end of the phyllo, leaving a 2-inch margin on the top, bottom, and side. Arrange the whole bananas next to the cheese. Pipe the remaining filling next to the bananas. Starting at the filled end, roll the phyllo up tightly to encase the filling. Move the log to the center of the sheet pan and tuck the ends under to keep the filling from oozing out. Brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. You may not use up all the melted butter and walnuts.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes on the pan. Using a serrated knife, cut carefully into sections and serve warm.

4 (17- by 12-inch) phyllo sheets, covered with 2 overlapping pieces plastic wrap and then a damp kitchen towel
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 firm-ripe bananas
2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
1 large egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
Confectioners sugar for dusting
Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream

  • Arrange 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface with a short side of phyllo nearest you, keeping remaining sheets covered, and brush with some butter. Top phyllo with 3 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each with butter. Arrange bananas one above the other, horizontally, on lower third of phyllo, leaving a 1-inch border on both sides (trim bananas if too long). Sprinkle chocolate over bananas, then fold sides of phyllo toward middle (over ends of bananas). Fold bottom edge of phyllo over bananas and roll up bananas in phyllo.
  • Transfer strudel, seam side down, to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or to a buttered baking sheet, then brush strudel with beaten egg. Cut 4 (1/2-inch-long) steam vents diagonally along top of strudel with a sharp knife. Bake in middle of oven until golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack, then dust with confectioners sugar.
