Of course, if your day is dominated by don’ts, don’t read on. That is, if you don’t like chocolate and butter and bananas and pecans — and if you don’t want to adulterate your lefse with anything but the standard butter and sugar — then stop right here. No need to check out this recipe for making a Valentine’s Day lefse wrap that is almost as irresistible as your Sweetie on the Big Heart Day.
On the other hand, if you do like fudge — homemade fudge — and if you do like bringing a bit of drooling adventure to Lefseland, then by all means do make The Amen Lefse Wrap and bring it to your belle or beau. Or … make it and eat all by yourself.
The Amen Lefse Wrap
Chocolate-banana lefse wrap
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
4 tablespoons butter
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ cup cream
6 ripe bananas
½ cup chopped pecans
To prepare fudge sauce: Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Stir in sugar, cocoa, and cream. Cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside.
Slice bananas and spread in a line on the diameter of 4 lefse rounds. Drizzle generously with fudge sauce, and sprinkle with pecans. Roll burrito-style.
