- Starting with the long end of phyllo, begin creating an accordion shape. To do this take about an inch of phyllo and gather it together using your fingers. Continue gathering until you reach the end of the dough. Note: create loose folds - space is needed between folds to insert banana slices.
- Roll the phyllo into a spiral shape and place in the middle of your pie pan.

- Chop bananas into ⅛ slices and insert between phyllo folds. Sprinkle top with chocolate chips.
