Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 2 Bananas
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Set aside.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces or use chocolate chips for easy melting.
Unroll the phyllo dough sheets and cover them with a slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out while you work.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface and brush it lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush. Sprinkle a small pinch of granulated sugar over the sheet.
Layer a second sheet of phyllo dough directly on top and repeat the butter brushing and sugar sprinkling process. Continue until all six sheets are layered.
Arrange the banana slices in a single line, about 1 inch from the edge of the shorter side of the phyllo stack. Leave about 1 inch of space on the sides for folding.
Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate evenly over the banana slices. Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon for added flavor.
Fold the sides of the phyllo dough inward over the filling to seal the edges, then roll it up tightly but gently into a log.
Transfer the rolled pastry to the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down. Brush the entire surface with more melted butter for a golden finish.
Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 shallow diagonal cuts along the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting the top with powdered sugar.
Slice into portions and serve warm for a delicious dessert or snack.
