Ingredients

Tempura Batter

Banana Filling

Serving Components

Preparation

Prepare the Banana Filling

1. Stuff the Bananas

Peel the ripe bananas and slice them lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter inside each banana and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Close the banana halves and set aside.

Make the Tempura Batter

2. Mix the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Gradually add ice-cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. Ensure there are no lumps.

Fry the Bananas

3. Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a little batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

4. Coat and Fry

Dip each stuffed banana in the tempura batter, ensuring it’s well-coated. Carefully place it into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Dessert

5. Plate the Tempura Banana Split

On a serving plate, place one tempura-fried banana. Add a scoop each of chocolate and vanilla gelato next to it. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the dessert and sprinkle with chopped macadamia nuts.
