Ingredients
1 tbsp margarine for frying
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 large, ripe bananas (caturra or Cavendish variety)
1 pinch ground cinnamon, to taste
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 large, ripe bananas (caturra or Cavendish variety)
1 pinch ground cinnamon, to taste
Where to find ingredients
Margarine can be found in the dairy or baking aisle of any supermarket. For the sweetened condensed milk, look in the baking aisle near the canned milk or in the international food section. While common Cavendish bananas are standard, if you prefer, look for smaller, sweeter varieties at Latin or international grocery stores. Ground cinnamon is available in the spice aisle of every grocery store.
Preparation method
- Peel the bananas, then slice them lengthwise and crosswise to create four pieces per banana
- Melt the margarine in a non-stick skillet over medium heat
- Arrange the banana slices in the pan and sear until they are lightly golden and tender
- Transfer the seared bananas to a baking dish or serving platter
- Drizzle the bananas with the sweetened condensed milk while still warm and sprinkle with ground cinnamon to taste
- Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill until very cold, almost frozen, before serving
