Banana Boileau w/ Chocolate Marshmallow cream Sauce

   Good evening everyone, hope you all had a good day... Well luckily the power did not go off last night from the storm that we had... When it was time for me to figure out what i was going to bake tonight, I went in search to see what ingredients we had to work with.  I realized we only had a minimal amount of sugar left to bake with, so with that in mind it really narrowed down our choices...  With that being said my brain went in to full gear to figure something out... 


     I looked at the kitchen table, once again the fruit bowl caught my eye, this time only I spotted 2 bananas. So I looked on a website for something quick and easy with bananas.  I found something with bananas, chocolate and  nuts and few other things, not really what I was feeling but it gave me an idea. 


    So that is when I decided to create my own little dessert and call it Banana's Boileau w/ Chocolate Marshmallow Cream Sauce.  


what you will need:
banana boileau recipe 
2-3 bananas (peeled and cut)
3 graham crackers (crumbled fine like bread crumbs)
2 tlbs sugar 
3 tlbs brown sugar 
1/2 tlbs cinnamon 


 chocolate marshmallow sauce recipe 
2 tlbs butter
1/4 tbsp vanilla 
1/3 cup mini marshmallow (add a palm full more after the first ones melt)
1/3 cup milk chocolate morsels
1 tbsp confectioners sugar 
1/3 cup milk 





                            




           Banana Boileau

         1.   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
         2.   In a mixing bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together with you hands.  Add cut bananas to the mixture in the bowel and toss them around until completely covered 





         3.  Put them in baking dish for 10 minutes to bake them and them turn the oven to broil but watch them by putting the oven light on you only want to tops to get a little dark.



                            Chocolate Marshmallow Sauce 

        1.  In medium saucepan melt butter, add marshmallows melt, add chocolate chips melt, palm full more marshmallows and the milk but you have to keep whisking during the process as to not burn, bring to a light boil and remove from heat immediately. 

This is only 4 Banana Boileau with sauce on side for dipping just to show you!  Sorry for the pics I need a new camera.



This is not the best picture but its a plate of them with sauce drizzled all over with a hint of powder sugar


    So after taking it out of the oven and seeing it I really regret that I did not slice the bananas on a bias.. I think they would have plated nicer and obviously the presentation would have been a lot better.  The chocolate marshmallow sauce however was really really good, and to tell you the truth I kinda just threw that one together.  Hey as long as it worked right?  lol...  My son didn't like the texture of the banana from being in the oven but loved the coating and the sauce though....

    Well I will really try to work on getting a new camera as soon as possible so that the pictures my at least do my baking its justice...lol... 

    Until tomorrow, stay warm, healthy and with the ones you who make you happy!!!!!!!!!!
