    • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk: This will add creaminess and sweetness to your dessert.
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Optional but it enhances the flavor profile beautifully.

    • Add Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the mashed bananas. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it now as well.
    • Mix Thoroughly: Use a whisk or spatula to mix the bananas and condensed milk together until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.
    • Add Salt: Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. This step is crucial, as it balances the sweetness of the condensed milk.
    • Incorporate Optional Add-ins: If you’re using cinnamon, nuts, or chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture at this stage. Each addition will contribute unique flavors and textures to your final dessert.
    • Refrigerate: For the best taste and texture, cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
    • Serve: Once chilled, serve the banana condensed milk mixture in small bowls or cups. Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with additional banana slices or nuts for a professional touch.

      • Vegetables:
          • 1 medium onion, chopped
          • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
          • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
