Ingredients

2 ripe (~240 g peeled) bananas
2 tbsps (30 ml) chocolate syrup
4 oz (120 ml) dark rum - my preferred for this drink
2 oz (60 ml) coffee liqueur
4 oz (120 ml) heavy cream
2 oz (60 ml) cream of coconut
1½-2 cups (210-280 g) ice
2 maraschino cherries

Instructions

Cut two small chunks from one of the bananas for garnish, leaving the peel on. Refrigerate the garnish pieces until ready to serve. Peel the remaining bananas and slice them into chunks.
2 ripe (~240 g peeled) bananas
Swirl chocolate syrup inside two chilled cocktail glasses, coating the sides. Place the glasses back in the refrigerator while you prepare the drink.
2 tbsps (30 ml) chocolate syrup
Add the banana chunks to a blender along with the dark rum, coffee liqueur, heavy cream, and cream of coconut. Add a generous handful of ice. Blend until completely smooth and thick but still pourable, stopping once to scrape down the sides if needed.

Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared glasses.
Thread one banana chunk and one maraschino cherry onto each cocktail pick. Garnish the drinks and serve immediately while the texture is cold and creamy.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better blending.
Dark rum addsdepth; light rum will taste thin.
Cream of coconut is sweetened and thicker than coconut milk.
Add ice gradually to control thickness.
Serve immediately for best texture.
Alcohol calories are included (7 kcal per gram of alcohol).
Serving Size: 1 cocktail (about 375 g / 12–13 oz)
Cream fat breakdown is realistic in calorie assumptions.
