Fried bananas with 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 bananas (caturra)
1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste

Where to find ingredients

You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets. If you prefer to experiment, butter can be used as a substitute for margarine for a richer flavor, though traditional recipes use margarine.

Preparation method

  1. Peel the bananas, then slice them lengthwise and cut each half in two, 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 soft in texture.
  4. Transfer the fried banana pieces to a heat-resistant serving dish.
  5. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the hot bananas and sprinkle with ground cinnamon to taste over the entire surface.
  6. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill until the dessert reaches a very cold temperature, almost icy, before serving.
