Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into small chunks for easier blending.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Stir continuously to ensure the mixture is smooth and doesn't burn.
Transfer the melted chocolate mixture into a blender or food processor.
Add the banana chunks, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender.
Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the spread and adjust sweetness by adding a little more honey if desired. Blend again briefly if adjustments are made.
Transfer the spread into a clean, airtight jar or container. Let it cool completely before sealing and storing it in the refrigerator.
Serve the creamy banana chocolate spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, or use it as a dip for fruits. Enjoy!
