Ingredients

Servings:

1 cup buckwheat puffs
2 pieces ripe bananas
1 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoons peanut butter
0.5 cup hazelnuts
60 grams dark chocolate

Step-by-Step Preparation

Speed:1x

Place the hazelnuts in a dry pan before adding them to the mixture and roast over medium heat for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly until the aromatic oils are slightly released, then remove from the heat, let cool at room temperature, and chop into large pieces.

Place the ripe bananas in a deep mixing bowl and mash them completely into a puree using a fork until they reach a smooth consistency.

Add the cocoa and peanut butter to the mashed banana puree, and mix well with a spatula until all ingredients are completely and homogeneously incorporated into the mixture.

Add the buckwheat groats and the previously roasted and coarsely chopped hazelnuts to the prepared cocoa banana mixture, blending gently while taking care not to crush the groats.

Break off walnut-sized pieces from the mixture, squeeze them in your palm to form round truffle shapes, and arrange them on a plate lined with parchment paper.

Melt the dark chocolate using a bain-marie and drizzle it over the prepared truffles with a spoon, then let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes for the chocolate to set.

Chef's Tips

The bananas being ripe and even having spots on their peels will increase the natural sugar content of the dessert, making it unnecessary to use extra sweeteners.
Do not exceed medium heat during the roasting process of the hazelnuts, otherwise the hazelnuts may burn and provide a bitter taste.

Alternative & Optional Ingredients

You can choose the same amount of almond butter or tahini instead of peanut butter.
You can use chocolates with 85% cocoa content and no added sugar instead of dark chocolate.

Gourmet Recommendations

You can sprinkle lightly roasted flaked almonds on top when placing them on the serving plate.
