Pan-Fried Bananas with Sweetened Condensed Milk and Cinnamon

Ingredients

1 tablespoon margarine for frying
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 large ripe Cavendish bananas (banana caturra)
1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste

Where to find ingredients

Margarine can be easily found in the spreads or baking aisle of any local supermarket. Sweetened condensed milk is widely available in the canned goods or baking section. For the bananas, look for ripe Cavendish varieties (locally referred to as banana caturra in Brazilian cooking) at your local market, greengrocer, or supermarket produce section; ensure they are fully ripe for the best sweetness. Ground cinnamon is a staple found in the herbs and spices aisle.

Preparation method

  1. Peel the bananas, then slice them lengthways and once more across the middle, so you have four pieces for each banana
  2. Melt the margarine in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat
  3. Place the banana slices in the pan and sear them until they are lightly golden and soft to the touch
  4. Carefully transfer the seared banana pieces into a serving dish
  5. While still hot, drizzle the bananas generously with the sweetened condensed milk and sprinkle with ground cinnamon to your liking
  6. Place the dish in the fridge and chill until it reaches a very cold, almost frozen temperature before serving

Pan-fried bananas with sweetened condensed milk are a classic Brazilian sweet, loved for their effortless preparation and the delicious balance between the warm, caramelized fruit and the fragrant spice of cinnamon.
