BANANA AND CHOCOLATE PARACHUTE PARCELS
Ingredients
- ½ small ripe banana
- peeled
- mashed until smooth
- 1 tsp chocolate drops
- 2 sheets filo pastry
- 3-4 tsp vegetable oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
- In a bowl
- mix together the mashed banana and chocolate drops. Set aside.
- Lay one square of filo pastry onto a work surface and fold it in half to make a rectangle. Cut away the folded edge using scissors or a sharp knife to create two rectangles.
- Fold each rectangle in half again to make two squares. Cut off the folded edges to create four squares.
- Repeat the process with the remaining sheet of filo pastry to create eight filo squares.
- Grease two of the holes in a muffin tray with vegetable oil using a pastry brush. Push one pastry square into the bottom of each hole
- allowing the corners to point upwards. Brush the pastry squares with a little more oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining pastry squares
- making sure the corners point up in different places for each layer. There is no need to grease the top layer of pastry.
- Divide the chocolate and banana mixture equally between the two filo-lined muffin holes.
- Gently twist the corners of each pastry parcel together to seal. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes
- or until the pastry is crisp and golden-brown.
