Notes
Cook the bananas until very soft to make mashing and shaping easier. Drain well before peeling to avoid excess water in the mixture. Use food-safe plastic or a clean food-safe bag to help close the banana around the filling. Wrap well in parchment paper before baking to keep the shape. Add the ganache after the dessert comes out of the oven.
