- 2 bananas, sliced
- 70g sugar
- 40g butter
- 15g cinnamon
For the Creamy Mixture
- 200g condensed milk
- 200ml milk
- 40g gelatin, dissolved in warm water
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Base
Crush the cookies into fine crumbs and mix them with the melted butter until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a serving dish or dessert pan to create an even base. Place it in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Cook the Bananas
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sugar. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Add the sliced bananas and cinnamon, cooking for a few minutes until the bananas become soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 3: Make the Cream Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk and milk until smooth.
Add the dissolved gelatin and whisk thoroughly until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Assemble the Dessert
Spread the caramelized banana mixture evenly over the chilled cookie base.
Pour the condensed milk mixture over the bananas and gently smooth the surface.
Step 5: Chill and Set
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2–3 hours, or until completely set.
Once firm, slice and serve chilled.
Tips for Success
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved before adding it to the milk mixture.
- Chill the dessert thoroughly to achieve a smooth, firm texture.
- Garnish with banana slices, cinnamon, or cookie crumbs before serving for an extra-special presentation.
