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.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the chocolate.

I'm not a big fan of bananas, but I loved this recipe! The chocolate fondue was rich and flavorful and the bananas were a great complement.

The chocolate fondue was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the bananas were perfect. I would use a darker chocolate next time.

The chocolate fondue was rich and decadent, but it was a bit too thick for my liking. I would add more milk or cream next time.

This was my first time making chocolate fondue and it was so easy! The instructions were clear and concise. I'll definitely be making this again.

The chocolate fondue was delicious, but the bananas were a bit too crispy for my taste. Next time I'll try frying them for a shorter amount of time.
