If you’re looking for a simple, quick, and delicious dessert using just condensed milk and bananas, here’s a sweet and creamy option you can whip up in minutes. This Banana Condensed Milk Dessert is a luscious, no-bake treat that combines the sweetness of ripe bananas with the creamy richness of condensed milk, resulting in a delightful treat that’s perfect for a light dessert or snack.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
- 1/4 cup whipped cream or 1/4 cup of full-fat cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional, for added spice)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel the bananas and slice them into small rounds or mash them lightly with a fork, depending on your texture preference. If you like the bananas to stay intact, slicing works best.
2. Beat the Condensed Milk:
- In a mixing bowl, pour the sweetened condensed milk and use a hand mixer or whisk to beat it for a minute or two until it thickens slightly and becomes fluffy. If you’re using whipped cream or full-fat cream, you can add it now and beat it together to make the mixture even creamier.
3. Add the Bananas:
- Gently fold the sliced bananas into the condensed milk mixture. If you prefer a more uniform texture, you can mash the bananas more thoroughly before folding them in.
4. Flavor It (Optional):
- Add a dash of vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor. This is completely optional but gives the dessert a lovely depth.
5. Chill (Optional):
- For a chilled dessert, you can refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to an hour. It allows the flavors to meld together and makes it more refreshing.
6. Serve:
- Spoon the banana and condensed milk mixture into small serving dishes or glasses. You can garnish with extra banana slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few chocolate chips for a fun twist.
