CHOCOLATE FONDUE WITH FRIED BANANAS

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup club soda
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons powdered sugar plus more for serving
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into 1-inch-thick diagonal slices
Canola oil, for frying
Chocolate Fondue (see recipe below)
Additional assorted dippers for serving, such as strawberries, pears, marshmallows and raspberries
10 ounces good quality semi-sweet dark chocolate (62%), chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Add the flour, club soda, milk, powdered sugar, cornstarch, vanilla and salt to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk to combine and break up any lumps. Add the sliced bananas and stir them around to coat them completely in the batter. Cover the bowl and refrigerate while you make the chocolate fondue and heat the oil for the bananas.
  • For Frying: Add about 1-inch of oil to a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed skillet. Attach a candy thermometer and bring the heat up to 350 degrees F. Once the oil is hot, remove the bananas from the fridge, letting any excess batter drip back into the bowl, and transfer them to the oil. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bananas to a wire rack. Let the bananas cool for 1 minute. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with the Chocolate Fondue and other dippers using fondue forks of wooden skewers.
  • Add the chocolate, heavy cream and vanilla to a large bowl set over a double boiler. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated with the cream, about 5 minutes. Keep warm on the double boiler until ready to serve. Once ready to serve, carefully transfer the chocolate fondue to a fondue pot to keep warm.

Categories     dessert

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate
12 large wonton wrappers
12 (3-inch) pieces of whole bananas
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Oil for frying
Shaker of powdered sugar
6 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups chocolate sauce, warm

Steps:

  • Preheat the fryer. Spread 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate over each wonton, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Place the banana on the bottom edge of each wonton. Lightly wet the edges of each wonton with the butter. Fold in the ends toward the center about 1/4-inch. Then, beginning at the bottom, roll up the wonton securely, pressing to close. Fry until the bananas are golden, about 3 minutes, stirring constantly for overall browning. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with the powdered sugar. To serve, place a scoop of the ice cream in the center of each shallow bowl. Lay two of the fried bananas next to each scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with the chocolate sauce.

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup good quality chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups seltzer water
4 bananas, cut in half on the diagonal
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Lavender honey, for drizzling
Creme fraiche, for garnish
Small chunk dark chocolate, for garnish
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Stir the chocolate syrup and 5-spice powder together and set aside.
  • In a deep fryer or large heavy saute pan with deep sides, heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Add the seltzer water in a stream while whisking constantly. Dip the bananas in the batter to coat and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sift the powdered sugar over the top immediately.
  • Place 2 banana pieces on a serving plate and drizzle chocolate sauce over. Top with a drizzle of honey.
  • Top with a spoonful of creme fraiche. Grate chocolate over top. Garnish with a small sprig of mint.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
  • Slice the bananas into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Coat the bananas in a mixture of flour, sugar, and cinnamon for a crispy coating.
  • Use a shallow-fryer or large skillet to ensure that the bananas are evenly cooked.
  • Fry the bananas in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and lowering the temperature of the oil.
  • Flip the bananas halfway through cooking to ensure that they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Drain the bananas on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
  • Serve the bananas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or chocolate sauce.
