- Oven Preparation :
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Preparation of the puff pastry :
- Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to eliminate any creases.
- Cut the puff pastry into rectangles of approximately 10×15 cm.
- Preparation of the filling :
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half or thirds, depending on the size of the puff pastry rectangles.
- Break the chocolate into small pieces.
- Assembling the Desserts :
- Place a piece of banana and a few pieces of chocolate in the center of each puff pastry rectangle.
- Fold the puff pastry over the filling to create a parcel and seal the edges with a fork.
- Transfer the parcels to the prepared baking sheet.
- Brushing with Egg :
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water.
- Brush the surface of each parcel with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
- Cooking :
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the parcels are puffed and golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly on baking sheet.
- Service :
- If desired, sprinkle the parcels with icing sugar.
- Serve warm and enjoy the banana and melted chocolate filling.
Advice
- Variations : You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for extra flavor.
- Extra Filling : Try adding a spoonful of peanut butter or Nutella along with the banana and chocolate for an even richer flavor.
- Freezing : These desserts can be assembled ahead of time and frozen. Bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
