Chocolate Banana Eggrolls With Cinnamon Cream Recipes

Steps:

• For the banana bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk the vanilla and eggs together in a liquid measuring cup with a spout. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with an electric hand-held mixer, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually pour in the egg mixture while beating; beat until incorporated. Mix in the bananas (the batter will appear curdled, but don't worry), then remove the bowl from the mixer. With a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the walnuts, then the Mexican chocolate.
• For the cinnamon crumble topping: In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with 2 knives until uniform.
• Fill the cups of the muffin tin about halfway with the batter. Spoon the cinnamon crumble topping over the muffins, pressing it lightly into the batter. Bake until the topping is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before serving. These muffins are great with a smear of butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Lay a phyllo sheet lengthwise on a large work surface and spray it with cooking spray. Top the sheet with another phyllo layer and spray it again. Cut the sheet in half from top to bottom. Repeat the process with the 2 remaining phyllo sheets. (You will have 4 phyllo rectangles lying vertically on the work surface.) Sprinkle a quarter of the chopped chocolate along the bottom edge of each phyllo rectangle.
• Halve the banana lengthwise and cut each half into two pieces. Lay a piece, cut side down, on top of the chocolate on the bottom edge of each phyllo rectangle. Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the banana. Fold about an inch of the side edges of the phyllo over the ends of the banana, and then roll the packet to form an eggroll shape. Repeat with the remaining bananas and transfer them to the baking sheet. Spray each roll with a little more cooking spray, then sprinkle a little cinnamon over each. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk the cream, brown sugar, and a couple dashes of cinnamon together until the brown sugar dissolves. Continue whisking until the cream thickens and begins to hold soft peaks. Transfer to a small bowl and sprinkle a little more cinnamon on the top.
• To serve, cut the eggrolls in half diagonally and place on a platter with the cream "dipping sauce."
