Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

---Pastry---
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup flour
4 large eggs at room temperature
 

Preparation:

Put water, salt and butter in saucepan; bring to boil. When boiling, add flour all at once and stir until it leaves the edges. Remove from heat and let cool about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating each time until the dough no longer looks slippery. Grease a cookie sheet and drop dough in small amounts, about 2 tsp. Bake in preheated 400F oven for 10 minutes and without removing, lower heat to 350 and bake about 25 minutes longer. Cool. *Filling* 2 cups whipping cream 2 tbsp sugar 2 large ripe bananas 2 tbsp Kahlua Whip cream (on highest setting) until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, whipping until stiff. Mash bananas to make one cup (I use a potatoe masher) and fold into whipped cream along with Kahula. Slice pastry in half and fill. *Topping* 5 oz semi sweet chocolate (about 4-5 squares) 1/4 cup butter Melt butter and chocolate together and drizzle over top! TRY TO WAIT UNTIL THE CHOCOLATE COOLS BEFORE SCARFFING THESE DOWN!
