How to Make Decadent No-Bake Banana Chocolate Walnut Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Base

1. 1. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash 2 bananas until smooth.
   2. Mix the Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, condensed milk, chopped walnuts, crushed cookies, and melted ghee butter. Mix until well combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.

 

1. Form the Base: Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or a lined cake tin. Use the back of a spoon to compact it into an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. 1. Combine Chocolate Spread and Cream: In a separate bowl, mix the chocolate spread with the chocolate cream until smooth.
   2. Layer the Filling: Pour the chocolate mixture over the prepared base and spread it evenly with a spatula.

 

Step 3: Add the Topping

1. Decorate with Walnuts: Sprinkle the roughly chopped walnuts evenly over the chocolate layer.
2. Add Banana Slices: Arrange the banana slices decoratively on top of the walnuts.

Step 4: Chill the Cake

1. 1. Refrigerate: Cover the cake with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set. For best results, chill overnight.

 

Step 5: Serve

1. Slice and Enjoy: Once set, remove the cake from the refrigerator and carefully release it from the pan. Slice and serve chilled.

Tips for Making the Perfect No-Bake Cake

1. 1. Choose Ripe Bananas: Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and a smooth texture.
   2. Crush the Cookies Well: Ensure the cookies are finely crushed to create a cohesive base. A food processor works best for this.

 

1. 1. Use Quality Chocolate: High-quality chocolate spread and cream enhance the flavor of the filling.
   2. Chill Thoroughly: Allow the cake to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to ensure it sets properly.
   3. Customize the Nuts: Swap walnuts for almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans based on your preference.
