Easy peasy store cupboard dessert.

This post isn't so much of a recipe, more an assembly of ingredients you would find in your fridge/cupboards/fruit bowl. It came about from demands of something with chocolate and some leftover items from pancake day, though most of these things I would have in the house anyway (minus the squirty cream). I'll call it carmelised bananas with chocolate and hazelnuts but really it isn't all that fancy. All you need to know is that it hits the sweet spot and can be whipped up in 10 minutes or 5 if you're super speedy. 

Carmelised bananas with chocolate and hazelnuts

serves 2

75 g caster sugar

small knob of butter

2 bananas, chopped

squeeze of lemon juice, jif is fine

2 tbsp nutella

big squirt of whipped cream

small handful of chopped, roasted hazelnuts to garnish

Start by throwing the sugar in a dry, heavy bottomed frying pan and put over a medium heat. Leave to heat until the sugar starts to caramelise. Don't be tempted to stir the pan yet! Once you have about 40% melted sugar you can stir carefully. Do this until you have a nice caramel colour and smell. Then quickly tip your bananas and butter in, being careful not to get any of that dangerous caramel on your skin. Stir quickly and add in the lemon juice. Once the caramel has remelted and the bananas have softened, tip out in to two serving bowls. Top with the nutella, cream and nuts. Enjoy!
