If you need a quick, inexpensive dessert with an irresistible flavor, this recipe is for you. It is prepared in just 5 minutes, does not require oven or gelatin and uses very simple ingredients that you probably already have at home.
The combination of ripe banana, dairy cream, and a delicious blueberry coating creates a smooth, fresh, and perfect sweet treat for any time of day.
In addition, it is ideal for taking advantage of very ripe bananas that you no longer want to eat alone. Below, I explain how to prepare this delicacy step by step.
Ingredients
For the banana cream:
- 700 ml milk
- 200 g condensed milk
- 100 g starch (cornstarch)
- 3 very ripe bananas
For the cranberry sauce:
- 200 ml water
- 200 g frozen blueberries
- 100 g sugar
- Water and starch mixture (50 ml of water + 20 g of starch)
How to prepare this creamy, no-bake dessert
1. Prepare the creamy banana base
- In a saucepan place the milk, condensed milk and starch.
- Mix very well before turning on the heat to avoid lumps.
- Mash the ripe bananas with a fork until you have a smooth puree. Add them to the mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the cream thickens and has a firm texture.
- Transfer it to a mold or container and smooth it with a spatula.
2. Make homemade cranberry sauce
- In another saucepan place the frozen blueberries, sugar and water.
- Cook until the fruits release their juices.
- Add the water and starch mixture and stir until slightly thickened and glossy.
- Let cool for a few minutes.
3. Assemble the dessert
- Pour the warm cranberry sauce over the banana cream.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours for best texture.
- Serve cold.
Additional tips to make your dessert perfect
- If the bananas are very ripe, so much the better. They provide more natural sweetness and a more intense flavor to the cream.
- Stir the cream constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom or forming lumps.
- You can replace the blueberries with strawberries, blackberries, or a mixture of frozen berries.
- If you want a firmer dessert, increase 10 g of starch in the cream.
- For an even fresher result, add a few drops of lemon juice to the cranberry sauce: it enhances the flavor and balances the sweetness.
- Garnish with banana chips or fresh fruit just before serving.
- If you want to make it more elegant, you can present it in individual glasses with alternating layers of cream and sauce.
