Banana Chocolate Wrap With Easy Raspberry Sauce Toasted Recipes

RASPBERRY DESSERT SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved. (I just use a fork to mix-very easy.) Combine cornstarch mixture, raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the mixture, lightly mashing the raspberries as they begin to heat.
• Bring to a boil and let it boil for 3 full minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and-if desired for a richer flavor-stir in vanilla extract.
• Press the warm sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds, if desired. I use the back of a spoon to press the liquid through the strainer, held over a bowl. It takes a couple minutes to really squeeze it all out.
• Feel free to serve warm over warm desserts, but it should be cooled to really thicken up. Cool the sauce completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools, but the strained version is still liquid and perfect for drizzling.
• Cover and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

BANANA CHOCOLATE WRAP WITH EASY RASPBERRY SAUCE - TOASTED

Steps:

• Leaving about 1 1/2 inches uncovered around the edges, spread cream cheese thickly in the center of the tortilla. Top with Nutella and banana slices.
• Roll tortilla burrito-style, folding in the sides and then rolling up.
• Melt butter or margarine in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Place wrap in pan, seam side down, and reduce heat to low.
• Check wrap often to make sure it doesn't burn. When it is golden brown on each side, turn it. I brown mine on four sides.
• When wrap is done, remove from heat and cover the pan while you prepare the sauce - this will help the cream cheese continue to melt.
• Heat jam in a small, microwave-safe bowl in the microwave on half power for 30-45 seconds or until hot and melted. Be careful not to burn yourself when handling it!
• To serve, place wrap on a plate and pour sauce over it. You can garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and/or fresh raspberries to make it extra special.
• Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY BAGS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine raspberries and one cup powdered sugar in container of an electric blender; process until smooth, stopping once to scape down the sides.
• Pour raspberry mixture through a large wire mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding seeds; chill.
• Roll each pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch square; cut each sheet of pastry into 4 squares.
• Combine raspberry flavored chocolate morsels, white chocolate morsels and chopped pecans; place evenly in middle of each pastry square. Reserve some morsel mixture for garnish, if desired. Pull up sides of pastry to enclose morsel mixture; twist ends just above morsels, pinching to seal at "neck" and spreading open top edges of pastry to fan out. (The packages will look like little gift bags that are twisted near the top.) Place filled bags on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 20 minutes, covering loosely with aluminum foil after 10 minutes to prevent excess browning.
• Spoon raspberry sauce evenly onto dessert plates; set aside. Sprinkle baked pastries with remaining 1/4 cup powdered sugar and place a pastry bag in the center of each dessert place on the sauce. Sprinkle reserved morsel mixture over sauce. Serve immediately.
• Note: Pastry bags can be assembled up to 4 hours before cooking; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Commercial raspberry sauce can be substituted for the raspberry sauce. For puff pastry sheets, Pepperidge Farm is recommended.

TOASTED BANANA BREAD WITH VANILLA RICOTTA & RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line the base of a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one at a time. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, add to the bowl with the lemon zest, vanilla and buttermilk, and stir.
• Mix together the flour, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda. Fold into the banana mix, one-third at a time, until just combined and add to the tin. Bake for 1 hr until firm, golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave in the tin for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• While the banana bread is baking, make the vanilla ricotta. Tip the ricotta into a bowl and mix with the vanilla bean paste, orange zest and 90ml orange juice until just combined. Cover and chill.
• To make the raspberry compote, heat the orange zest, 5 tbsp orange juice, the sugar and 225g of the raspberries in a saucepan over a gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer for 5 mins, then pour through a sieve into a bowl. Stir through the rest of the raspberries, cover and chill.
• When you are ready to serve, take the raspberry compote out of the fridge to bring to room temperature. Slice the cooled banana bread into 8 pieces and toast under a medium grill until lightly caramelised. Serve each slice with a spoonful of vanilla ricotta and a drizzle of raspberry compote.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or a BBQ). Make a slit through the skin of the bananas along one side - making sure you don't cut all the way through to the other side. Poke in the chocolate buttons along the cut. Put each banana onto a sheet of foil and crimp the edges together to seal into a parcel. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 25 mins until the bananas have turned black (or pop straight into the BBQ embers for 15 mins).
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream and any melted chocolate that has escaped!
