Fried Chocolate Bananas Recipes

CHOCOLATE FONDUE WITH FRIED BANANAS

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.

• Drain on absorbent kitchen paper, and keep warm until all the banana has been cooked.
• For the caramel sauce, melt butter in a small pan, then add remaining ingredients and stir.
• Bring to the boil and cook, uncovered, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 8 minutes.
• Serve each individual portion with icecream of choice.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED BANANAS

Steps:

• Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of gently simmering water. Stir just until melted.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Insert a popsicle stick in one end of each banana piece. Dip banana, one piece at a time, in chocolate, spooning on additional chocolate to cover.
• Sprinkle each banana with peanuts, and set on prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, 20 minutes, or up to 3 days.

FRIED SWEET BANANAS

Steps:

• Cut each banana half into 3 or 4 pieces.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; add banana slices and cook until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer banana slices to a paper towel-lined plate. Coat banana slices, 1 at a time, with cinnamon-sugar.

FRIED COCONUT BANANAS

DEEP-FRIED BANANA WITH CHOCOLATE & PEANUT BUTTER RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip a popsicle stick into the melted chocolate. You want to have about a half-inch of chocolate on the tip. Stick the chocolate-covered end into the bottom of a banana piece, about halfway in. Place the banana on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pieces. When complete, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Keep the remaining chocolate warm. Place 1 cup of the chopped peanuts on a shallow plate. Remove the bananas from the freezer, and one at a time, use a spoon to cover each piece with chocolate. Remove any excess on the edge of the spoon. Dip and roll each banana into 1 cup of the peanuts and then place them back on the baking sheet. Reserve the leftover chocolate. Place the baking sheet into the freezer for 30 minutes. Heat deep fryer to 375°F. About 20 minutes into the banana freezing time, prepare the batter by combining the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium-size bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and peanut butter. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until smooth. Fold in the remaining chopped peanuts. Remove the bananas from freezer. One at a time, dip each banana into the batter being sure to cover the entire banana up to the popsicle stick. Let the excess batter drip off. Carefully submerge the banana into the hot oil and hold onto the end of the popsicle stick for about 6-8 seconds. Release and let it continue to fry, turning it with a pair of tongs until evenly dark golden brown. Remove the banana from the oil and drain it on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining bananas. Serve immediately with the leftover chocolate for dipping.
