Fried Banana with Sweetened Condensed Milk and Cinnamon (Banana frita com leite condensado e canela)

Ingredients

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

Where to find ingredients

You can find all these ingredients at local Fijian supermarkets and grocery stores. Look for margarine in the dairy aisle and canned sweetened condensed milk in the baking or shelf-stable milk section. While 'banana caturra' is a specific Brazilian variety, any ripe, firm dessert banana works as a perfect substitute.

Preparation method

  1. Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise, then cut those halves crosswise 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 softened.
  4. Transfer the fried bananas to a serving dish.
  5. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the warm bananas and dust the entire surface with ground cinnamon to taste.
  6. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill until the dessert reaches a very cold, nearly frozen temperature before serving.

Observations

Fried bananas with sweetened condensed milk are a classic Brazilian dessert, celebrated for their ease of preparation and the perfect balance between the fruit's natural sweetness and the aromatic warmth of cinnamon. It is an ideal choice for those looking for a quick after-dinner treat or an uncomplicated, home-style sweet.
