Method:

First, peel the bananas, chop into chunks and freeze for one hour.

In the meantime, brush the inside of four dariole moulds with the melted butter, then coat with the cocoa powder – this will help your fondants to come out easier.

Then, melt the chocolate and the remaining butter together in a bowl over simmering water. Remove it from the heat when it’s ready.

Whisk the two whole eggs, two yolks and 100g caster sugar until the mixture is thick and pale – about five minutes or so…

Add the melted chocolate and butter to the eggs – try to mix gently to keep the air in!

Spoon the mixture into the moulds – fill each of them about 2/3 full so there’s space for them to rise.
