Instructions
Step 1
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
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
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.

Variations
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!
