I like banana stuff...
Plain old banana bread is great, but it's better when you add more to it. So, in this list of type of banana bread were cookies, bars, banana bread in a jar etc. When I saw the truffles I knew it was something easy enough to make so I took a stab at it.
They are easy to make, but I've ever really made truffles before. My chocolate was really thick which made it hard to roll the banana bread in, and made for a thick chocolate shell. I'll have to work on that. Other than that issue, they're pretty good. I don't think I'll be going into the truffle/candy business anytime soon however.
You can take any banana bread recipe you have and whip it up. I'll include my super simple one I used yesterday from Martha Stewart.
Banana Bread Truffles
From Inquiring Chef
Banana bread:
3 ripe bananas mashed
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup melted butter
1.5 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 bags milk chocolate chips
1. In a large bowl, mix together the banana, sugar, egg and butter. In a different bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Add the flour to the banana mixture and stir until just combined. Place into a greased 9x5 dish and bake for 55 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool completely.
2. When the bread is cooled, slice off the edges that touched the pan that are crustier. We're talking like just a little sliver off the edges. Then crumble up the banana bread into a bowl so it's all small crumbs.
3. Add the cream cheese and mix until fully combined and creamy. Roll the mixture into small balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to overnight. I let mine chill for 5 hours.
4. Melt one bag of chocolate chips in the microwave at 30 second increments until melted and stir until completely smooth.
5. Dip the banana balls into the chocolate to coat and use two forks to help let the extra chocolate drip off and place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill in the refrigerator until set and enjoy!
My truffles aren't pretty whatsoever. I need some practice on how to make good truffles. But, they do have that homemade with love look, and that's perfectly fine with me. Plus, they taste amazing which is all that matters. I know this, because I've eaten about 6 of them......
