Ingredients for 4 people :

For the rolls

4 bananas
20 grams sugar (brown, demerara or cane)
40 grams butter
spoonful of light rum
4 sheets of ready-made pastry
some melted butter for the pastry sheets

For the sauce

100 grams of dessert chocolate (70% grade)
100 grams butter
140 grams pouring cream

Preheat the oven to 230 oC

Step 1. Melt 40 grams of butter in a pan. Cut the bananas in rounds and peel them. Flambe' them in the butter with the rum and caramelize them with sugar. Set aside in a bowl.
Step 2. Assemble the rolls: using a pastry brush, butter one of the pastry sheets. Cut into six wedges (like cake slices) and place a coffee spoon-size mound of banana filling onto the wide end of the triangle shape. Fold the two sides of the base onto the filling and roll up to the top.
Step 3. Place the finished rolls onto a baking sheet and bake for around 10 minutes, just so that they turn color.
Step 4. In a double boiler, let the chocolate for the sauce soften with the remaining butter. As soon as the chocolate has melted, add the cream.
