How to Make Creamy Banana Dessert

This dessert perfectly blends banana, caramel, and cream, creating a delicious contrast. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.

Recipe Ingredients:

For the Cream:

• 2 cups (8 fl oz each) of milk – (240 ml)
• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)

For the Banana Syrup:

• 1 cup of sugar – (240 ml)
• 2 cups of water (16 fl oz each)
• 6 bananas, sliced into rounds

Instructions:

Cream Preparation:
First, in a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, milk, cornstarch, sugar, and vanilla extract (if using).

Next, place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking or lumps. Continue stirring until the cream thickens and reaches a firm consistency.

Afterward, remove it from the heat and set the cream aside while preparing the caramel.

Caramel Preparation:
Then, in a skillet, add the sugar and heat it over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar melts completely and forms a golden caramel.

Right after, gradually add the water, stirring constantly to combine and prevent the caramel from hardening. Let it cook for a few minutes until the syrup thickens slightly.

Dessert Assembly:
After that, choose a bundt pan or a glass dish and spread half of the caramel syrup on the bottom.

Next, arrange the banana slices over the caramel, evenly covering the base of the dish.

Then, pour the reserved cream over the bananas, spreading it evenly to cover all the fruit.

Finally, refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours to allow the cream to set firmly and the flavors to meld together.

Tips:

• For a sweeter dessert, you can add more sugar to the cream.
• If the cream becomes too thick, just add a little more milk and stir until you achieve the desired consistency.
• Lastly, keep an eye on the caramel to prevent it from darkening too much, which can make it taste bitter. Add a bit more water if needed to adjust the consistency.
