Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by *washing and drying* the fresh raspberries thoroughly. Place them in a bowl, ready to be mixed.

Peel the banana and slice it into even rounds. Keep the slices about *0.5 centimeters (0.25 inches)* thick to achieve a nice texture in the final dish.

Step 2

Mix the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced banana and raspberries. Pour over the *sweetened condensed milk*, making sure to cover the fruit completely.

Using a spatula, gently mix the ingredients together until they are well combined, but be careful not to crush the delicate raspberries.

Step 3

Chill and Serve

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and cover it with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for at least *1 hour* to allow the flavors to meld together. This chilling time will enhance the sweetness and make the dessert refreshing.

Before serving, you might want to garnish with a few extra raspberries on top for a beautiful presentation.

Faq

  • What if I don't have fresh raspberries?

    No worries at all! You can use frozen raspberries. Just remember to thaw and drain them properly to avoid excess moisture in your dessert.

  • How ripe should the bananas be?

    Go for bananas that are ripe but not overly mushy. A few brown spots indicate they are sweet enough, ideal for blending into creamy goodness.

  • Can I use a food processor instead of a blender?

    Absolutely! Just be mindful that a food processor might require a bit more stopping and scraping down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated.

  • Why does my mixture turn brown quickly?

    Bananas can brown due to oxidation. Adding a splash of lemon juice not only enhances the flavor but also slows down the browning process.

  • How can I add more texture to the dessert?

    Consider folding in some chopped nuts, granola, or chocolate chips just before serving. This adds a crunch that balances perfectly with the creamy smoothness of the mix.

  • What other flavors can complement this dessert?

    Consider incorporating vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon. They add warmth and depth, turning a simple treat into something extraordinary!
