Braaibroodjies really are the best thing since sliced bread. And many will agree that it is not a real braai without it! To make it even better we’ve put a sweet spin on the classic with this dessert version. It blends the creamy decadence of dark chocolate with the sweet, caramelised goodness of bananas, all perfectly toasted to golden perfection.
| 10 slices | Bread (any bread will do) |
| 1 cup | Butter, melted |
| 4 - 6 | Bananas, sliced into rounds |

| 1 | 70% Dark chocolate, chopped |
| 1 cup | Whipping cream, cold |
| ½ tsp | Vanilla essence |
| 1 tsp | Cinnamon, ground |
| ¼ cup | Golden syrup |
| 1 | Spread out the bread slices, making sure each one has a partner, and brush with melted butter. |
| 2 | Add the banana in a layer and evenly sprinkle over the grated chocolate followed by the chopped chocolate. |
| 3 | Add on the tops of the broodjies then brush both sides with butter. |
| 4 | Arrange the broodjies in a flip grid and braai until golden brown. |
| 5 |
To make the cream, whip the cream in a large bowl until peaks begin to form. |
| 6 | Fold in the vanilla, cinnamon and golden syrup and whisk until stiff peaks form. |
| 7 | Serve braaibroodjies with whipped cream and chocolate ganache. |
