Bananas with Chocolate and Caramel
Roasted bananas with tahini fudge sauce and rum caramel by @ixtabelfrage cooked in Roccbox.
Whether you're cooking for friends and family or just treating yourself (it's called self-care), this simple recipe is sweet, boozy and indulgent - everything you need in a dessert.
Equipment
Ingredients
6 very ripe bananas (with plenty of brown spots), skin on
80g roasted and salted almonds, roughly chopped
For the cream
300g Oz double cream
100g Greek yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Rum miso caramel
140g maple syrup
70g double cream
25g white miso paste
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1½ tbsp spiced rum
Tahini fudge sauce
90g tahini (mix very well before using, to combine the solids and fat)
75g maple syrup
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1½ tsp soy sauce or tamari
½ tsp vanilla bean paste
Step 1:
Add the cream, yoghurt and vanilla to a medium bowl and whip until you get medium peaks. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 2:
For the caramel, add all the ingredients to a medium saucepan and place on a medium heat. Whisk well to incorporate the miso and cook for 6 mins, stirring often; the mixture should bubble away and thicken to the consistency of butterscotch sauce. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the rum.
Step 3:
For the fudge sauce, add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk until thickened and completely smooth. Add a splash of water if needed- the consistency should be thick but pourable.
Step 4:
Preheat your Gozney Dome or Roccbox to 250°C/482°F.
Step 5:
Cut a slit along the top of the bananas and squeeze them slightly open. Place in a large oven proof tray. Drizzle a little maple syrup and sprinkle a little salt inside each banana.
Step 6:
Bake the bananas until the skins have blackened completely and the flesh is nicely caramelised and very soft. Turn the tray every now and then so the bananas cook evenly. This should take about 15-20 mins but will depend on the heat of your Gozney oven.
Step 7:
Leave to cool for a few minutes, then top with the cream, followed by the caramel, fudge sauce and almonds. Sprinkle with flaked salt and serve.
