Recipe
A Kamado, such as the Big Green Egg, is often used for smoking meat and fish. But did you know that smoked banana is also quite delicious? In this recipe, we will explain how to easily make a spectacular dessert with banana, chocolate and pistachio.
INGREDIENTS
BANANA
- 25 g shelled pistachios

- 100 g dark chocolate
- 4 not too ripe bananas
- vanilla ice cream
Also needed
- 4 cedar wood sheets (to be bought at a BBQ specialist store or cookery shop)
- butcher’s twine
In advance
- Ignite the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the grid, to 120°C. In the meantime, finely chop the pistachios and mix with the grated coconut. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt au bain-marie.
- Peel the bananas, spread the melted chocolate all over them and sprinkle with the pistachio mix. Wrap each banana in a cedar wood sheet and tie with a piece of butcher’s twine.
