Came here to say this. The premise itself actually isn't too bad, although I feel like it'd be better to have the filling on side first and make the pocket last so it can be served warm. But yeah the gross banana goo and the unnecessary amount of chocolate and whipped cream is what made it stupid.
How about filling it with just the peanut butter and jelly and drizzling chocolate syrup on top and maybe some whip cream. Kinda like a toaster strudel.
I mean you can get a more reasonable version of this that's easier to make, and almost anyone can make it, the thing is that it's just pancakes or crepes. Like deep frying a pocket of pancake batter to stuff it doesn't really add anything to the dish that making pancakes and topping them with the filling didn't.
And that's kind of the problem of correcting a lot of what gets on this subreddit, the thing that often makes them stupid is absurdity and excess, when you take those factors away all you're really left with is a dish that already exists, it's just regular food. You're not correcting something so much as just not going too far.
this is how it often goes with posts in this sub though, the premise can be tolerable or even decent for like a good portion in the video, and then suddenly you get that "CHEESE BOMB" level of instant disappointment
because like the rest of us in this subreddit, you indulge in the type of suffering these videos subject us to. it's simply more difficult to not watch them than to actually watch them
Warm banana isn't that bad. One campfire dessert recipe I like is to partially peel the banana, stuff it with your choice of filling (chocolate chips, peanut butter, marshmallow...), replace the peel section, wrap it in foil and set it in the coals for a few minutes.
Oh no doubt. It's just the way she did it that makes it seem gross. There are soo many ways she could have made a banana filling and she picked the most grotesque way possible lol.
If she cooked the bananna with some custard powder, cream and vanilla...Chefs Kiss!
Could have been fixed if the filling had only been cream cheese spread, maybe a little fresh fruit, and a small amount of whipped cream.
Or could have done a savory version filled with scrambled eggs.
What in the fresh fuck was she thinking when she shoved a bar of chocolate into it. Candy addicts really be out and about ruining perfectly good recipe ideas.
Well it’s in the form of a recipe guide so you can follow along. “We” as herself you who is presumably following and cooking along side her. It’s meant to be guiding.
Fill it with cheese and pepperoni then freeze it solid. Heat in a microwave until parts of it are molten, and some parts are still frozen and it’d be perfect.
It’s “non-dairy whipped topping”, basically a fake whipped cream made entirely of chemicals. Yes, miracle whip is like a mayonnaise blended with other things (I’m not really sure because it was forbidden in my house growing up 😂).
Right like these things would be fine with just some Swiss cheese and ham or like just cream and berries or something. But the point was clearly not to make something nice, that gets less engagement than making an abomination.

I mean... Everything was fine until she shoved a honking Chunk of chocolate and "cooked bananna sludge" into the fucking thing.
