Dark Chocolate and Banana Braai Broodtjies
Braaibroodjies really are the best thing since sliced bread. And many will agree that it is not a real braai without it! To make it even better we’ve put a sweet spin on the classic with this dessert version. It blends the creamy decadence of dark chocolate with the sweet, caramelised goodness of bananas, all perfectly toasted to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Braaibroodjie:
• 10 slices of Bread (any bread will do)
• 1 cup Butter, melted
• 4 - 6 Bananas, sliced into rounds
• 1 70% Dark Chocolate, grated
• 1 70% Dark Chocolate, chopped
Cream:
1 cup Whipping Cream, cold
½ tsp Vanilla Essence
1 tsp Cinnamon, ground
¼ cup Golden Syrup
Method
1. Spread out the bread slices, making sure each one has a partner, and brush with melted butter.
2. Add the banana in a layer and evenly sprinkle over the grated chocolate followed by the chopped chocolate.
3. Add on the tops of the broodjies then brush both sides with butter.
4. Arrange the broodjies in a flip grid and braai until golden brown.
5. To make the cream, whip the cream in a large bowl until peaks begin to form.
6. Fold in the vanilla, cinnamon and golden syrup and whisk until stiff peaks form.
7. Serve braaibroodjies with whipped cream and chocolate ganache.
Pro-tip:
The secret to making braaibroodjies is to remember them as: ’draaibroodjies’. “Braaibroodjies should be turned often and are best braaied in a closed, hinged grid.
