For 6 portions

Ingredients

2 packages of puff pastry (chilled or thawed)
6 medium bananas
approx. 120–150 g hazelnut cream with chocolate
1 egg
granulated sugar for sprinkling (to taste)

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the puff pastry Unroll the puff pastry onto your work surface and cut it into equally wide strips with a sharp knife. Always cut straight down so the layers of pastry do not stick and separate properly during baking.
Preparation of the bananas Peel the bananas. Use the handle of a spoon or a small knife to create a shallow groove along the entire length of each banana.
Filling Spoon the hazelnut cream into the opening. Choose the amount so the cream does not unnecessarily leak out during baking.
Wrapping in the pastry Wrap each banana with strips of puff pastry in a spiral. Press the dough lightly so it holds well.
Preparation for baking Transfer the bananas to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg in a bowl and brush the surface of the pastry with it using a brush. Finally, lightly sprinkle with sugar.
Baking Bake in a preheated oven at 190 °C for approximately 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Serving Let the finished puff pastry bananas cool briefly and then serve. They are excellent on their own, or with mascarpone, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
