Ingredients for Banana And Chocolate In Phyllo

  • Bananas
  • Chocolate Candy Bars
  • Phyllo Pastry Sheets
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip or similar)
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds

How to Make Banana And Chocolate In Phyllo

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brush each phyllo sheet lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar. Stack sheets, keeping them covered to prevent drying.
  3. Place 2 segments (approximately 1 ounce) of chocolate and 1 ripe banana (about 6-7 inches long) on the long edge of a phyllo sheet.
  4. Fold in the side flaps over the banana, brushing with melted butter to seal.
  5. Tightly roll the phyllo dough around the banana and chocolate filling. Brush the ends with melted butter to secure.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 until all bananas are used (approximately 10).
  7. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Brush the rolls with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water).
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the phyllo is crispy.
  10. Meanwhile, prepare the topping: Puree 1 pint of fresh strawberries. Gently fold the puree into 1 cup of whipped topping (Cool Whip or similar).
  11. Toast 1/4 cup slivered almonds until lightly golden brown.
  12. To serve: Place a banana roll on a plate. Spoon the strawberry cool whip mixture onto one end. Scatter toasted almonds and a few fresh strawberries over the topping.
  13. Drizzle with melted chocolate (optional).
  14. Enjoy these delightful and customizable treats! Experiment with different types of chocolate, nuts, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce for endless variations!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
