Ingredients
1 tablespoon margarine for frying
1 can condensed milk
3 large ripe bananas (caturra)
1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste
1 can condensed milk
3 large ripe bananas (caturra)
1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste
Where to find ingredients
Margarine and ground cinnamon are staple items found in any local supermarket. For the bananas, look for ripe Cavendish bananas, often referred to as 'caturra' or simply sweet baking bananas, available at any local produce market or fruit stand. Condensed milk is widely available in the baking aisle of every grocery store on the island.
Preparation method
- Peel the bananas, then slice them lengthwise and halve them crosswise so you end up with four pieces per banana
- Melt the margarine in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat
- Arrange the banana slices in the pan and sear them until they are lightly golden and soft
- Transfer the fried bananas to a shallow serving dish
- Pour the condensed milk over the hot bananas and sprinkle with ground cinnamon to taste
- Place the dish in the fridge and chill until it is very cold, almost frozen, before serving
Observations
Fried banana with condensed milk is a classic Brazilian sweet, loved for its simple preparation and the delightful harmony between the warm, caramelized fruit and the fragrant spice of cinnamon. It is a fantastic option when you need a fuss-free dessert at home or a quick end to any meal.
