Chocolate Rum Bananas Recipes

PUFF PASTRY BANANA PIE WITH CHOCOLATE RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon rum, water and cinnamon and stir until syrupy. Add bananas and cook 2 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with syrup. Using slotted spoon, transfer bananas to plate. Boil syrup until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Pour syrup over bananas; let cool.
• Combine chocolate, cream and corn syrup in heavy small saucepan; stir over low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Transfer 2 tablespoons chocolate mixture to small bowl (Mixture will be thick). Add 2 tablespoons rum to mixture in saucepan; stir sauce to blend.
• Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°F. Place 1 pastry sheet on floured work surface. Set 9-inch-diameter tart pan upside down on pastry. Using knife, cut pastry into 9-inch-diameter scalloped round. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet. Place 1 pastry round on ungreased heavy large baking sheet; arrange 3 whole bananas on pastry, forming circle and leaving 1/2-inch pastry border. Fill in center with remaining bananas, cutting to fit. Pour any syrup from bananas and reserved 2 tablespoons chocolate mixture over bananas. Brush pastry edges with beaten egg. Top with second pastry round. Press edges to seal. Brush top with egg. Using small sharp knife, cut 8 vents in top of pastry to allow steam to escape. Freeze 10 minutes.
• Bake until pastry is golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Run long knife under pastry to loosen. Cool on baking sheet on rack until just lukewarm, about 1 1/2 hours. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Rewarm sauce over low heat. Serve pie with sauce.

BORA BORA BANANA SPLIT WITH CHOCOLATE RUM FUDGE SAUCE

Steps:

• To assemble the banana split, slice the bananas lengthways and cook in a saute pan with a little butter. Peel the pineapple and cut into 1-inch rings. Remove the core. Add the pineapple to pan and cook until both are golden brown. Add the sugar and the rum. Flambe and stand aside. Place on the plate, bananas first, face up. Top with the pineapple ring. Pour any pan juices over the fruit. Drizzle a little of the Chocolate Rum Sauce over the dessert and the plate. Garnish with whipped cream and plantain chips. Serve with Coconut Sorbet.
• Bring all ingredients to a gentle boil, cool and reserve until needed.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large saute pan until approximately 350 degrees. Fry the plantain slices until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oil and dust with sugar and cinnamon. Drain on paper towels, and reserve for garnish.
• Mix all ingredients together in bowl. Transfer to freezer friendly container and freeze until set. Serve with the banana split or enjoy alone.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE COCONUT RUM BANANAS

Steps:

• Peel and halve the bananas. Place a wooden stick into each half. Arrange in a shallow pan and cover halfway with rum. Let stand 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Place on a baking sheet and place in the freezer. Freeze until frozen through and firm, at least 1 hour.
• Once the bananas are frozen, leave them in the freezer while preparing the chocolate and coconut. Toast the coconut in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring occasionally, until evenly golden, about 2 minutes 30 seconds. Toss the flaky salt with the coconut.
• Combine chocolate and coconut oil and microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Lightly whisk until the chocolate and oil are combined.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the bananas from the freezer and pat dry if wet. Working quickly, dip each banana in the chocolate, then sprinkle with the coconut and salt, and let dry for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately.
