Chocolate covered bananas

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make bananas in chocolate? Prepare the ingredients for cooking the dish. I took dark chocolate, but any will do - both bitter and milky. Take high-quality chocolate, the taste of the whole dish depends on its taste. One tile (and they are now mostly 90 grams each) was enough for two large bananas, but a little glaze remained. Milk or cream can not be added, with them the chocolate will turn out to be more liquid, it will be easier to apply it on a banana.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the bananas and cut them into approximately the same pieces. I have large fruits, I cut them into three parts. If the bananas are small, then two pieces will be enough.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prick the banana slices on wooden sticks. These can be ice cream sticks, skewers for canapes or wooden skewers. But keep in mind that a banana is a rather heavy fruit, and too thin sticks may not withstand its weight and break.

4. Step 4:

   

   Chop the nuts into small pieces. I took hazelnuts, and in general absolutely any will do - walnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews. For a brighter taste, you can fry the nuts a little in a frying pan.

5. Step 5:

   

   Melt the chocolate. To do this, take a bowl and put the chocolate in it, broken into pieces. Pour in the milk. Boil water in a saucepan. Place a bowl of chocolate on a pan of boiling water. This is called a water bath. Note that the pan and bowl should fit in size, and the water level should be below the bottom of the bowl. In a water bath, the chocolate will melt quickly and correctly.

7. Step 6:

   

   Chocolate, from the heat of steam boiling in a saucepan of water, will very soon begin to melt. Using a spatula, mix it with milk until smooth - this way a chocolate glaze is obtained. If it turns out to be too thick, add a little more milk. Remove the finished glaze from the bath and cool a little.

8. Step 7:

   

   Take a banana impaled on a stick and spread chocolate icing on it from all sides.

9. Step 8:

   

   Sprinkle a banana covered with chocolate, nuts or confectionery sprinkles as desired.

10. Step 9:

    

    Carefully turn the glazed banana upside down with a stick and fix it on something until it dries. I took the bowl from the steamer. You can stick a stick in something soft. If the sticks are long, then just put the bananas in a glass. When the glaze dries, put the bananas on a plate and put them in the refrigerator. There the chocolate will harden and bananas will be more convenient to eat.

    Bon appetit!
