Bananas can be amazing too!

Overview

Bananas are so common. They are under my nose every day. I just don’t have much motivation to pick them up from the table. How to make it stunning? You need 2 bananas, various decorative candies, chocolate, and 2 large pieces of high-quality soda crackers. This decorative candy reminds me of the marble candies in Shanghai in the 1970s and 1980s. When I was young, I lived on Shaanxi South Road. There was a tiger stove downstairs in the opposite building, which was a tea house and a place where the water was turned on. Every afternoon, a group of old men would come from nearby homes and form a Jiangnan silk and bamboo band, which would last for two or three hours. Teagoers listened to the music while drinking tea, so they still like Jiangnan folk music. The cigarette paper shop at the entrance of Danzitang Lane doesn't sell cigarette papers yet, so I have to walk a long way to a state-owned store to buy them.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Peel the banana and cut into 2-4 segments as needed

   

2. 2 Insert colored sticks, you can also use bamboo skewers or even chopsticks

   

3. 3 Wrap high-quality soda biscuits (preferably homemade) in a plastic bag and mash them into uniform biscuit crumbs in a stone mortar. I used two flavors: chives and sesame

   

4. 4 Take a banana stick and roll it evenly with yogurt

   

5. 5 Then sprinkle with cookie crumbs

   

6. 6 Take another banana stick and roll it with melted chocolate syrup

   

7. 7 Sprinkle with various decorative sugars, I made the original flavor, colorful beads version and gold rivet version. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour

   

8. 8 I froze it overnight, so it's best to defrost it in the refrigerator for half an hour before eating. I couldn't wait that long, so I took pictures directly at room temperature, so there was a layer of white frost on the outside. After all the fiddling with the pictures, the banana sticks had softened, and when I took a bite, hmmm~ the frozen bananas taste sweeter and denser, very delicious!

   

9. 9 Paired with a beautiful box, it is a unique handmade gift in the world!
