All you need to make this sweet homemade sushi at home is just 3 ingredients:
- Banana
- Dark chocolate
- Pistachios
I recommend using high-quality 72% dark chocolate, made with cocoa butter and cocoa beans and no additives.
It’s super good for you and it will guarantee that your chocolate sticks well to the banana.
Use bananas that are just perfectly ready to eat ( not green or overripe bananas).
Don’t skip on the pistachio! I’m a huge fan of this superfood, it adds a lovely crunchiness and subtle sweetness to pretty much any kind of sweet and savoury recipe.
Pistachios are powerful tiny nuts. They are a great source of many essential vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Above all, they’re packed with protein, and snacking on them can help you feel fuller during the day.
However, if you’re not a fan, substitute the pistachio with any other nut.
Roasted hazelnuts, almonds, pecan, peanuts and walnuts are just a few other favourite options.
How To Make This Sweet Vegan Sushi
This awesome, delicious banana recipe takes no more than 15 mins to put together and 3 simple steps:
Step 1. Cover the bananas with melted chocolate.
To avoid sticky chocolatey fingers, stick a toothpick at both ends of the bananas, so it’s easier to hold them while you cover them.
Step 2. Sprinkle the bananas with chopped pistachios and put them in the freezer for a couple of minutes, to allow the chocolate to set.
Step 3. Once the chocolate is hard enough, cut the bananas into bite-sized sushi pieces with a sharp knife.
That’s it, I promise it takes longer to read the recipe than actually making it!
