Method
Wash the banana1 and make a lengthwise slit in the peel without cutting through the bottom.
Break the chocolate into pieces and roughly chop the walnuts3.
Tuck the chocolate and nuts into the slit in the banana1.
Cook in the air fryer at 180 °C for 6–8 minutes, until the peel darkens and the chocolate melts.
Serve warm, gently opening the peel with a spoon.
Tips
- Why it works
- Leave the bottom part of the peel intact. It holds the juice and melted chocolate inside, so the banana doesn't leak into the air fryer basket.
- Substitutions
- Swap the milk chocolate for dark chocolate in the same amount, the taste will be less sweet. You can replace the walnuts with 10 g of hazelnuts or peanuts.
- Common mistakes
- Bananas are most often overcooked. The peel turns almost black, and the flesh starts to leak and smells more of caramel than of banana.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat it right away while warm, since after the fridge the banana darkens and turns watery. If any is left, keep it for up to 1 day and reheat for 1–2 minutes in the air fryer at 160 °C.
- Serve with
- Serve as a quick sweet snack after lunch, or with a spoonful of plain unsweetened yogurt.
