Ingredients

1 tablespoon margarine for frying
1 can condensed milk
3 large ripe bananas (caturra variety)
1 pinch cinnamon powder to taste

Where to find ingredients

Find these ingredients at local supermarkets and grocery stores. For the bananas, look for varieties similar in size and texture to the caturra or Cavendish type. As a substitute for margarine, unsalted butter may be used.

Preparation method

  1. Peel the bananas and slice them first lengthwise, then in half, creating four pieces per banana.
  2. Melt the margarine in a non-stick skillet 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 seared bananas to a heatproof serving dish.
  5. Cover the warm bananas with the condensed milk and sprinkle cinnamon powder over the entire surface to taste.
  6. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill until the dessert reaches a very low, almost frozen temperature before serving.
