Pan-Fried Bananas with Leite Condensado and Cinnamon (Banana frita com leite condensado e canela)

Ingredients

1 tbsp margarine for frying
1 tin Leite Condensado
3 large, ripe Cavendish bananas
1 pinch ground cinnamon, to taste

Where to find ingredients

Find these ingredients in your local supermarket; look for Leite Condensado in the 'world foods' or international aisle. If you cannot find margarine, unsalted butter is a common and suitable substitute.

Preparation method

  1. Peel the bananas, then cut them lengthways and then in half crossways, creating 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 in texture.
  4. Transfer the seared bananas to a heatproof serving dish.
  5. Drizzle the Leite Condensado over the warm bananas and sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon across the surface.
  6. Place the dish in the fridge and chill until the dessert reaches a very cold, almost frozen temperature before serving.
