Description

Instead of making banana bread, use your overripe bananas to make these Banana Chocolate Truffles.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces, weight Chocolate (I Used A Mix Of Dark+milk Chocolate)
  • ¼ cups Sweetened, Condensed Milk
  • ⅓ cups Mashed Banana (for 1/3 Cup You'll Need About Half A Banana)
  • 8 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate Coating
  • 1 teaspoon Shortening

Preparation

1. Line a small loaf pan (8×4 inch) with foil or plastic wrap. Place chopped chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in the bowl on top of a double-boiler (with simmering water in the bottom).
2. Heat while stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined. Stir in mashed banana or blend chocolate and banana in a food processor for a really smooth texture.
3. Pour into prepared pan and cover the top with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Once set, lift the chocolate from the pan and cut into 25-30 squares. Roll each square of chocolate into a ball, set them on a tray and refrigerate until ready to use.
5. Melt the coating chocolate in the top of a double-boiler (or in the microwave). Add a little shortening to thin the chocolate if necessary.
6. Using a fork (or dipping tool or spoon) dip the truffle balls into the melted chocolate and tap off excess. Place on a wax paper lined baking sheet.
7. Store in the fridge in a covered container.

The flavor was delicious! My center/filling never did firm up. I even froze it and it was still just gooey. I ended up pouring my chocolate over it instead of dipping. I followed the recipe exactly – not sure what went wrong! My family loved the flavor, so I might try again with some powdered sugar added to firm it up a bit. Thanks for sharing!
