Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 1 orange
- 50 g butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
- 2 tablespoons full milk powder (substitute with cocoa for a chocolate version)
- 1 teaspoon beet jam for color
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes (optional)
Preparation Time
Total Time: 20 minutes
Step-by-Step Instruction
- Start by juicing the orange. For best results, use an orange that has been refrigerated overnight. This helps in extracting maximum juice.
- Slice the banana into pieces and blend it together with the freshly squeezed orange juice to create a smooth mixture.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, add sugar, vanilla sugar, and milk powder. Stir the mixture continuously while heating until all ingredients are fully dissolved.
- Pour the banana and orange mixture into the saucepan with the butter mixture. Add the coconut flakes, if using, and continue to cook over a low heat, stirring gently for about 3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the beet jam. Blend the mixture once more to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Allow the cream to cool. As it cools, the texture will become thicker and creamier.
- Once cooled, transfer the cream into serving dishes.
- Chill in the refrigerator if desired for a cool, refreshing dessert.
- The creamy banana delight is now ready for serving.
- Enjoy the creamy delight!
Tips
- If you prefer a chocolate-flavored cream, simply replace the milk powder with cocoa powder.
- For a more pronounced coconut flavor, lightly toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the mixture.
- Make sure to blend the banana thoroughly for a completely smooth texture.
- This cream can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to two days.
