Preparation
Step 1
Making the Caramel Filling:
Heat the sugar in a large, heavy pot on a medium to high heat. Once the sugar begins to melt stir it constantly then stop once it comes to the boil. Ensure all the sugar has dissolved, it should be a dark golden colour.
Immediately add the butter and whisk until the butter has melted. Once melted take the pan off the heat. While whisking gently pour in the cream slowly – the caramel will puff up then settle.
Step 2
Once whisked to a smooth consistency, allow the caramel to cool for a few minutes then transfer it to a clean cup or suitable vessel and set aside for later.
Step 3
Making the Choconana:
Fill the flavour injector/syringe with the warm caramel sauce. Peel the bananas and lay them onto a baking tray. Into each banana in about 3 locations inject a little of the caramel sauce. If you do not have a syringe, use the caramel sauce as a dipping sauce.
Have all your ingredients prepared – have your toppings laid out in large bowls, melt the chocolate over a bain-marie then set aside.
Step 4
Taking the bananas one at a time dip them into the chocolate then sprinkle with the toppings of your choice or leave them plain. Place them back on the greaseproof lined tray to dry or place in the fridge to chill.
What you will need: Large baking tray, greaseproof paper/baking parchment, large pot and medium pot, wooden spoon, a whisk, and a flavour injector/syringe.
