Banana Chocolate Heaven Roll
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large ripe banana
- 4 slices of bread (crusts removed)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chocolate hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 1/2 cup (85 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional Garnishes:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Fresh strawberries
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Gently press each bread slice flat using a rolling pin to create a uniform, thin base for the roll.
- Spread a delicate layer of chocolate hazelnut spread across the entire surface of each flattened bread slice.
- Slice bananas lengthwise into four equal segments, ensuring clean and precise cuts.
- Position one banana quarter along the edge of each chocolate-covered bread slice and generously sprinkle chocolate chips over the banana.
- Carefully roll the bread tightly around the banana, creating a compact cylindrical log with sealed edges.
- Melt butter and gently brush each roll’s exterior to enhance browning and flavor.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, then thoroughly coat each banana log by rolling it in the fragrant mixture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for even cooking.
- Arrange the rolls seam-side down in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Rotate rolls carefully to ensure uniform browning and prevent burning.
- Once perfectly golden, transfer rolls to a serving plate and allow brief cooling.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar and accompany with fresh strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Use soft, ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and easier rolling without breaking the bread.
- Choose sturdy white bread that’s slightly stale, which helps prevent soggy texture and holds shape better during cooking.
- Try different chocolate chips like dark, milk, or white chocolate for varied flavor profiles.
- Prevent burning by keeping heat at medium-low and using a non-stick pan with even surface distribution.
