Ingredients overview

Ingredients

3 pieces of bananas
100 g dark chocolate couverture

Pantry

1 splash of lemon juice

Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise with a knife. The cut surfaces should be straight so that the ghosts can stand stably on a plate.

Carefully melt the dark chocolate couverture in a water bath. Make sure no water gets into the chocolate.

To create the faces, it's best to use a wooden skewer or a toothpick as a brush. Dip it into the melted chocolate and carefully draw eyes and a spooky mouth onto the banana halves. Let the chocolate set briefly before serving the ghosts.

Chef's tip

A small splash of lemon juice on the peeled bananas prevents them from browning quickly and ensures that your ghosts remain radiantly white for a long time.
