Banana Pastry with Chocolate Sauce

Ever tried this simple banana pastry with chocolate sauce that's quite popular in Hong Kong?


This recipe was suggested by my sister when she traveled to Australia and visited me. She said she tried this dessert, banana pastry at a dessert café in Hong Kong.

Immediately I baked one for her, that only took me just half of an hour. It’s really yummy and easy to make. The hot banana inside the pastry with smooth chocolate sauce tasted heavenly. Who can resist the temptation of ice-cream as well?

Banana Pastry with Chocolate Sauce02

Ingredients:
  • 1 piece puff pastry
  • 1 to 2 ripe bananas, chopped
  • 1 egg, whisked for egg wash
  • ice cream for garnish, optional
Chocolate sauce:
  • 50 gm dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 150 ml whipping cream
  • 16 gm (1 Tbsp) sugar

Banana Pastry with Chocolate Sauce Procedures

Method:
  1. Put the dark chocolate, whipping cream and sugar in a small sauce pan. Don’t need to bring it to boil. Just heat until the chocolate and sugar are melted. Stir consistently. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 180C / 350F. Rest puff pastry at room temperature. Slice bananas.
  3. Cut the puff pastry into two halves lengthwise. Wrap the banana slices in the middle of each half of puff pastry. Use a fork to press and seal both ends. Brush whisked egg on the surface. Prick the surface with a sharp knife or fork. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with chocolate sauce and favourite ice-cream.

Notes:
  • To get the best results, use ripe bananas. They’ll turn into sweet and creamy fillings.
  • You may use any favourite fruits instead of ice-cream.

  2. Yumm!!! I bet instead of only chocolate sauce, dipping that in some Nutella would taste Ah-Mazing. Great post!

    Thanks so much for the award.

    To Nicole,
    It's half of a piece of frozen pastry, about 12cmx24cm. But you can use any size of pastry you like.

    Yeah, wonderful combination. My family loves this dessert very much.
