Ingredients
1 tbsp margarine for frying
1 can condensed milk
3 large, ripe Cavendish bananas
1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste
1 can condensed milk
3 large, ripe Cavendish bananas
1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste
Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets and shops in Banjul or Serrekunda. Look for condensed milk in the baking aisle; if fresh local bananas are unavailable, you can substitute with plantains, though the flavor profile will differ.
Preparation method
- Peel the bananas, then cut each one lengthwise and crosswise to create 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 until they are lightly golden and tender.
- Transfer the seared bananas to a heat-proof serving dish.
- Pour the condensed milk over the hot bananas and sprinkle ground cinnamon generously over the top.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill until the dessert is very cold, almost frozen, before serving.
