Banan Bread Truffles
- 12 banana bread (I used half a 9X15 loaf)
- 2 -3 tablespoons cream cheese (low-fat is fine)
- 150 g semisweet chocolate (I used about 60 % cocoa chocolate)
- candy sprinkles (optional)
- cocoa (optional) or coconut (optional) or chopped nuts, for sprinkling on top (optional)
- First mash your banana bread up by using either a potato masher/ricer or a food processor.
- I found that the crust was easy to break up so I didnt bother cutting it off, but you can do that before you mash your bread.
- Add the cream cheese and mix it in until your dough is pliable and holds together well.
- Depending on how moist your bread is you might need more or less cream cheese.
- Roll the dough into balls (mine were the size of a walnut, but you can go as small or big as you like).
- Melt the chocolate (in the microwave or over a water bath) and dip your truffles into it until well coated.
- A fork works nicely for this.
- Sprinkle on desired toppings.
- Set the truffles down onto a piece of parchment paper and allow to dry for a few hours (putting them into the fridge will speed up the process, but the chocolate might get cloudy).
- Enjoy!
