ZEBRA BANANAS

 Fluffy dough, whipped cream, banana, and chocolate- it can't get better! This recipe is a basic one and you can easily add other ingredients like nuts or marzipan. We start with a light, airy dough that is super quick to make, use half a banana, and assemble everything with cream and chocolate. For the decor, you can choose whether you want to cover the whole banana or sprinkle some chocolate on top (that's the zebra look).

Let's get started!


RECIPE:

Ingredients: (for 6 bananas)

  • 50g flour
  • 25g cornstarch
  • 60g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • Vanilla extract and a pinch of salt
  • a splash of warm water
  • 3 bananas
  • 100g dark chocolate
  • 50g heavy cream
Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/374°F.
  2. Separate the eggs. 
  3. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Then add half of the sugar (30g) and continue to beat for another minute.
  4. Add the remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and warm water to the egg yolks and beat the mixture for 4-5 minutes until light in color.
  5. Sift flour and cornstarch into the egg yolk mix and slowly incorporate it with a rubber spatula.
  6. Fold in the stiff egg whites and transfer the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can spread it to 0,3-0,5 cm.
  7. Bake the dough for 8 minutes until golden brown, then let it cool.
  8. Meanwhile, beat the heavy cream and cut the bananas horizontally in half.
  9. Place the bananas on the dough and cut around the edges, so you get a piece of dough in the same shape as the bananas.
  10. Repeat with all 6 bananas.
  11. Spread some heavy cream on each piece of dough, before you top it with the bananas.
  12. Melt the chopped chocolate with a splash of oil and sprinkle it on top of your zebra bananas.
  13. Enjoy!

Pflaumen Cupcakes mit dunkler Schokolade und Zimt-Frosting

Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem perfekten, einfachen und schnellen Herbstrezept sind, das wie ein sonniger Herbsttag schmeckt, dann ist dieses Rezept genau das Richtige für Sie. Es besteht aus einem einfachen Muffinteig mit Pflaumen und Zartbitterschokolade und wird mit einer schnellen, butterfreien Zimt-Kaffee-Creme verfeinert.
