Ingredients
To create this delicious banana and condensed milk treat, you’ll need the following ingredients:
Banana Condensed Milk Mixture
2 ripe bananas: Choose spotty and soft bananas for the best flavor and texture.
1 cup sweetened condensed milk: Adds creaminess and sweetness.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Optional, but enhances the flavor beautifully.
A pinch of salt: Balances the sweetness.
Optional Add-ins
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Adds a warm spice.
Chopped nuts: Walnuts or pecans for a lovely crunch.
Chocolate chips: For a richer dessert.
Whipped cream: To top it off.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bananas
Peel and Slice: Start by peeling the ripebananas. Slice them into smaller pieces to make them easier to mash.
Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the bananas until mostly smooth, with a few small lumps remaining for texture. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and creamier your mixture will be.
Step 2: Combine with Condensed Milk
Add Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the mashed bananas. Add vanilla extract if desired.
Mix Thoroughly: Use a whisk or spatula to combine the bananas and condensed milk until smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.
Step 3: Add Salt and Optional Ingredients
Add Salt: Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Incorporate Optional Add-ins: If using cinnamon, nuts, or chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture. Each addition will add unique flavors and textures.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve: Once chilled, serve the banana condensed milk mixture in small bowls or cups. Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with additional banana slices or nuts for a professional touch.
Tips and Variations
Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and creamier your mixture will be.
Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dessert, use less condensed milk.
Experiment with toppings: Try different nuts, fruits, or spices to customize your dessert.
