Fried Banana with Sweetened Condensed Milk and Cinnamon (Banana Frita)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon margarine for frying
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 ripe, large Cavendish bananas (banana caturra)
1 pinch ground cinnamon, to taste

Where to find ingredients

Margarine, bananas, and ground cinnamon are readily available in any local grocery store or supermarket in Belize. For the sweetened condensed milk, look in the baking aisle or the coffee and tea section, typically stocked in standard tin cans. If you are specifically sourcing 'banana caturra' and cannot find them under that name, standard Cavendish bananas (the common yellow variety found in local markets and produce stands) are the ideal equivalent for this recipe.

Preparation method

  1. Peel the bananas, then slice them lengthwise and once more across the middle to create four pieces per banana
  2. Melt the margarine in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat
  3. Arrange the banana slices in the pan and sear until they are lightly golden and have achieved a soft, tender texture
  4. Transfer the seared bananas to a serving dish or heat-proof platter
  5. Drizzle the hot bananas generously with the condensed milk and dust evenly with ground cinnamon to taste
  6. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill until the dessert reaches a very low, nearly icy temperature before serving
