CHOCOLATE BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into an 11-inch false-bottom tart pan, making sure the sides and the bottom of the crust are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool completely.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the scalded milk until the mixture is combined.
• Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is very thick. Off the heat, add the chocolate, butter, coffee liqueur and coffee powder and stir until the chocolate is melted. Pour the filling into the cooled tart pan and smooth the top. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the chocolate filling and chill for 6 hours.
• When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap from the chocolate and arrange the banana slices in concentric circles on top of the filling.
• Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until the cream forms firm peaks. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the bananas and gently spread the cream with a spatula to cover the pie, leaving a border of bananas visible at the outside edge. For a garnish, shave curls of milk chocolate on top of the whipped cream. Remove the pie from the pan, place it on a cake plate and serve.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED BANANAS

Steps:

• Peel and cut the bananas in half crosswise, so that you have 8 pieces. Place peeled bananas on sticks. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place bananas on the cookie sheet in the freezer, keep them in there as long as possible, at least 10 minutes. Heat chocolate bits with butter in a double boiler over low heat until the chocolate melts and butter is incorporated. Dip the chilled bananas in chocolate and roll with your favorite topping. Chill or freeze until ready to serve.

SHRIMP AND BANANA

Steps:

• Sear the shrimp on one side in a skillet on medium-high heat with a little bit of vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Add the shallots and garlic. Once the shrimp are partially cooked, after about 1 minute, remove from the skillet. Next, add the bananas and break up the bananas with tongs while sauteing to essentially mash. Saute for 1 minute.
• Add the water/soy mix, sambal and honey and saute another minute until heated through. Return the shrimp to the skillet and finish cooking, 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with the lime juice and cilantro, and then season again if necessary.
• Spoon the banana sauce into bowls. A small concave vessel with a large bell is best. Place 5 shrimp to a bowl on top of the sauce. Garnish with onion sprouts.

BANANA CHIPS

CHOCOLATE SLICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees c or 165 degrees for a fan forced oven.
• Grease and line a lamington tray with baking paper, I usually spray the pan with cooking spray and place a strip of baking paper across the middle section so that I can lift the slice out of the tin to cut it.This way your tin will not be damaged by the knife when you cut the slice.
• Sift the flour and cocoa into a mixing bowl. Add the coconut and the sugar and mix to combine.
• To the melted butter add the vanilla and then add this to the dry ingredients and mix well.
• place the mixture into the slice tin and spread out evenly, bake in the oven for 20 mins and then cool.
• To make the icing sift the icing sugar and the cocoa into a bowl and add the water and butter and mix well.
• Spread the icing over the top of the slice and cool in the fridge for an hour before slicing.
• To remove the slice from the tin,gently lift the baking paper at the sides and the slice will lift out easily. Place the slice on a cutting board and cut into squares.
• This slice can be kept in an airtight container for up to a week and can also be frozen for up to a month.
