How To Make Banana Chocolate Truffles

Did you know that the banana industry has always been a source of pride and precious foreign exchange for the Philippines? The Philippines is one of the top five exporters of bananas in the world.

Our province alone, Oriental Mindoro, is a proud producer of Saba and Lakatan. In fact, aside from Mindanao provinces, Mindoro is also known as manufacturer and exporter of banana chips. 

With this huge produce, we’ve come up with a lot more banana dishes. We have Banana Cue, which are deep fried bananas coated with brown sugar; Turon, which are fried bananas wrapped with spring roll wrapper; Mariya, which is also known as banana fritters and the like.

Being obsessed lately to chocolate and banana fusion, I thought of using bananas into making chocolate truffles.

1. Prepare all the ingredients needed.

• Banana
• Digestive cookies
• Chocolate Syrup
• Chocolate Chips

2. Place five Digestive cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them into bits.

3. Mash the banana.

4. Put them together including the chocolate syrup.

5. Mix until well incorporated.

6. Mold and make small rounds balls out of the choco banana mixture.

7. Place in fridge for an hour for chilling.

8. Melt the chocolate chips.

9. Coat choco banana balls with chocolate. This is optional.

10. Your Choco Banana Truffles is now done and ready to be served.
