Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 large Bananas
- 60 grams Dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and cut them into halves lengthwise, then slice each half into two pieces to make a total of 8 banana quarters.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces or use chocolate chips.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure an even thickness. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares (8 squares total).
Place one piece of banana onto the center of each puff pastry square. Sprinkle a bit of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top and add a few pieces of chocolate.
Bring the 4 corners of the puff pastry square together above the filling and pinch them tightly to seal, creating a little 'purse.' Ensure there are no gaps or leaks.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush the outside of each pastry purse lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the prepared banana purses on the lined baking sheet, leaving space between them as they will puff up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for extra presentation.
Serve warm and enjoy your Banana Purses in Puff Pastry!
