Ingredients
1 tbsp margarine for frying
1 tin condensed milk
3 large, ripe Cavendish bananas
1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste
1 tin condensed milk
3 large, ripe Cavendish bananas
1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste
Where to find ingredients
Find fresh Cavendish bananas and margarine at local supermarkets or open-air markets (dukas/soko). Condensed milk is available in the canned goods aisle of any major grocery store. For the best result, ensure the bananas are ripe but firm.
Preparation method
- Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise, then cut them in half 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 soft in texture.
- Transfer the bananas to a heatproof serving dish.
- Pour the condensed milk over the hot bananas and sprinkle the ground cinnamon generously over the surface.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill until the dessert reaches a very low, almost frozen temperature before serving.
