BANANA SPLIT CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Combine chocolate, butter, and cream in the top of a double boiler over simmering, not boiling, water. Stir occasionally until all ingredients are melted and well combined. Set aside and allow to cool. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. (do not grease.) Place tortillas over heat to soften enough to become pliable. Remove from heat and arrange 1 piece of banana, about 1/4 of the cooled chocolate mixture, 2 tablespoons nuts, and 2 tablespoons ice cream off center on each tortilla. Brush inside edges of tortillas with beaten egg. Fold top edge of tortilla about a quarter of the way over filling. Repeat with bottom edge. Starting with the unfolded edge closest to the filling, roll into a shape like an egg roll. Freeze for several hours or overnight. Keep frozen until ready to serve. Just before serving, heat oil in a skillet or deep-fryer to 400°. Fry tortilla rolls in hot oil until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
