Divine Goes Bananas For Fairtrade Fortnight
Divine
Chocolate, the farmer-owned chocolate company, has created four new recipes especially
for Fairtrade Fortnight 2014 (24th February – 9th March).
Divine is supporting the Fairtrade Foundation’sMake Bananas Fair campaign buy
showing just how delicious our favourite fruit can be when combined with Divine
Chocolate.
Ethical food
blogger Pauline Milligan has created three new recipes including a Chocolate
Chip & Brazil Nut Banana Bread which uses over ripened bananas to
bring out the fruit’s natural sweetness in the cake. Flavoured with vanilla and
almond, the banana bread is studded with chopped Brazil nuts and chunks of
Divine’s 70% Dark Chocolate.
For a
grown-up take on a banana sundae, this recipe for a Divine
Banana Chocolate Sundae combines the gorgeous flavours of banana and
vanilla with a decadent chocolate-orange rum sauce and nutty caramel praline.
The final
recipe from Pauline is for a stack of American
style banana pancakes topped with a Divine chocolate maple syrup. An
easy recipe to make, the mashed banana in the batter mix creates a lovely
flavour and texture that works perfectly with the sweet dark chocolate maple
syrup.
A chocolate
and banana recipe collection wouldn’t be complete without a Banoffee
Pie; taken from Divine’s Heavenly Chocolate
Cookbook by Linda Collister, this recipe takes a Divine twist on the
classic recipe. Homemade toffee sauce, bananas and a milk chocolate whipped
cream are layered onto a crisp shortcrust chocolate pastry.
Following its
success last year, this Fairtrade Fortnight sees the return of the Divine
pop-up shop to Seven Dials in Covent Garden. A range of Divine events will be
taking place over the two weeks, including two exciting new flavour launches
and a UK tour by two cocoa farmers from the Kuapa Kokoo co-op that owns Divine.
