1 pinch ground cinnamon, to taste
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Where to find ingredients
You can find standard Cavendish bananas and ground cinnamon in any produce or spice aisle. Sweetened condensed milk is typically located in the baking or international foods aisle of most grocery stores. For the best result, use a high-quality margarine; if preferred, butter can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Peel the bananas, then slice them lengthwise and crosswise to create four pieces per banana.
- Melt the margarine in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Arrange the banana slices in the pan and sear until lightly golden and tender.
- Transfer the seared bananas to a serving dish or heat-proof platter.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the warm bananas and sprinkle with cinnamon powder to taste.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill until the dessert is thoroughly cold, almost icy, before serving.
