Ingredients:

For the pudding:

  • 2 2/3 cups half-and-half
  • 3 medium (very) ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 1 lb. dark chocolate (70%), roughly chopped
  • ½ cup sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For garnishing (optional):

  • Whipped cream
  • Banana slices

 


Instructions:

  • Peel and remove the banana peels; apply the flesh to a blender/food processor with 2 1/3 cups half-and-half. Process until smooth.
  • In a medium saucepan, apply the banana puree, stir in the sugar, chocolate, salt, and vanilla extract, and set over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  • In the meantime, using an electric mixer, beat the gelatin with the remaining half-and-half; let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  • Then, scrape the gelatin and half-and-half mixture into the saucepan; stir until melted and smooth.
  • Remove from the heat and pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, then divide it among 6-8 ramekins/serving glasses/cups.
  • Refrigerate until the puddings are firm, at least 4 hours (or ideally overnight).
  • Before serving, dollop whipped cream over the top of each pudding or just decorate with a few banana slices (if desired).

Enjoy!
