Melted Chocolate Bananas

I guess that this is the closest you’re going to get to banoffee pie on the barbecue and if you’re a true chocaholic then maybe melted chocolate bananas are the perfect way to end a BBQ cookout.

The beauty of doing bananas this way is the at the skin acts as a natural protection from the grill so you can set a few off over a gentle heat while you enjoy your main meal.

My wife is a real high cocoa solids chocaholic so that’s my normal source of chocolate but feel free to experiment with others and see what takes your fancy.

TIP - When making the incision in the banana, make it along the “inside” bend of the banana so that there’s less chance of the melted chocolate oozing out.

You may also want to set up your garden hammock before the cookout because if you’re like me, you’ll need an afternoon snooze after a couple of these.

Ingredients:-

• Bananas
• A bar of chocolate

Method:-

Take a rolling pin and smash up the unwrapped chocolate bar to create lots of bits and pieces. Using a sharp knife make one incision down the length of each banana, gently ease the flesh away from the skin and then stuff the chocolate around the outside of the flesh. You can use a cocktail stick to shore up the incision in the banana skin if you wish and then simply place the bananas over the embers and go and enjoy your main course whilst everything begins to soften.
