Where to find ingredients
Plantain bananas can typically be found in the produce section of most large supermarkets, especially those with a diverse international selection. Latin or Caribbean markets are also excellent places to find them. If you can't find plantain bananas, regular ripe bananas can be used, but the texture will be softer. Sweetened condensed milk is a pantry staple available in the baking aisle of nearly all supermarkets. Margarine or butter is also widely available. Ground cinnamon is a common spice found in the spice aisle of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise, then cut each half into two pieces
- In a skillet, melt a small amount of margarine or butter over medium heat
- Fry the banana pieces until they are soft and golden brown on all sides
- Arrange the fried bananas in a serving dish
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the bananas
- Sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon
- Refrigerate the dish until it is very cold, almost frozen
- Serve chilled
