A great braces-friendly winter recipe!

If you have braces from Duncan Orthodontics, you are probably wondering what else to eat other than yoghurt, custard and soup! No popcorn, sticky lollies or other delicious braces-unfriendly foods. But fear not! Here is a tantalizing recipe that will satisfy both your sugar craving and sore teeth on a wintery evening.

Chocolate baked bananas with ice-cream

Ingredients:

4 bananas 
4 tablespoons Nutella

120g milk chocolate chips 
1 tub of ice cream (your choice of flavour!)

Directions:

1. Pre heat your oven to 230°C
2. Place the banana on a work surface with the ends pointing up. Use a   small sharp knife to cut a horizontal slit down the inside so you can open the peel like an envelope
3. Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella and add 30g of chocolate chips to all four bananas
4. Close the banana peels, and wrap individually in foil
5.  Place bananas on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes (or until bananas are soft and the chocolate is melted)

Be careful when removing the foil as the bananas and melted chocolate will be hot!

To serve, add your ice cream to a bowl and carefully peel your baked banana on top.

Enjoy!
