This Banana and Cookie Dessert recipe is a perfect example of a simple yet indulgent treat that you can whip up quickly. The combination of crunchy cookies, sweet bananas, and creamy filling makes it irresistible.
Ingredients:
2 bananas
120g (about 1 cup) of cookies
35g (2.5 tablespoons) of butter
75g (1/3 cup) whipped cream
200g (about 3/4 cup) sweetened condensed milk
35g (2.5 tablespoons) of sugar
Fine sugar (for whipping the cream)
Chocolate flakes (for topping)
Directions:
Crush the Cookies:
Place cookies in a plastic bag and crush into fine crumbs using a rolling pin.
Prepare the Base:
In a mixing bowl, mash 1 banana.
Combine the mashed banana with the crushed cookies until well mixed.
Press the mixture into a round cake pan to form an even base.
Make the Creamy Filling:
In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, stirring well.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly.
Assemble the Dessert:
Pour the creamy filling over the cookie and banana base.
Slice the remaining banana and arrange the slices on top of the filling.
Decorate with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Flakes:
In a separate bowl, whip the cream with a teaspoon of fine sugar until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream over the dessert.
Sprinkle with chocolate flakes.
Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Why It Stands Out:
Quick Prep: Only 10 minutes to prepare, no baking needed.
Versatile: You can customize the base and toppings with different cookies, fruits, or flavors.
Accessible Ingredients: Uses common pantry items like bananas, cookies, and condensed milk.
