Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the sponge Separate the yolks from the whites. Whisk the whites into stiff peaks. Beat the yolks with the sugar until foamy. Gently fold the egg-white foam into the yolk mixture and then carefully work in the mixture of flour, cocoa and baking powder. Spread the batter onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 °C for about 12–15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Preparing the banana cream Cook the pudding from the packets with the milk and sugar according to the instructions on the package. Let it cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Beat the softened butter into the cooled pudding until you obtain a smooth cream.
  • Assembling the dessert Evenly spread the prepared banana pudding over the cooled sponge. For an even more intense flavor you can add thin slices of fresh bananas between the sponge and the cream.
  • Chocolate topping Melt the chocolate together with the oil in a double boiler or in the microwave. Drizzle it irregularly over the surface of the dessert.
  • Chilling Let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, so the flavors meld and the cream firms up.

Total preparation time:

  • Preparation: 30 minutes

  • Total: approx. 3 hours
