Equipment
- Pan
- Large Bowl
- Round glass
- Transparency film
Ingredients
- 1 loaf banana bread
- vanilla pudding
- 14 oz dark chocolate
- 2 strips transparency film (4 inches high)
- whipped cream
- chocolate pearls
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1.75 fl oz milk
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp rum
- 3 large bananas, sliced
- 0.5 orange
Instructions
- Boil the can of sweetened condensed milk in water for 3 hours. Once it has cooled, mix the contents of the can with milk in a large bowl.
- Cut 3 evenly-sized sections out of the banana bread with a round glass (do not use the end slices of the loaf).
- Coat the top of each banana bread circle with the dulce de leche.
- Caramelize sugar in a pan and then add butter. Once it's melted, pour in the rum and flambé the whole thing. Add a splash of orange juice to the pan and then fry the banana slices.
- Place one of the coated banana bread circles on a plate and wrap a strip of transparency film around it. This will serve as the base of the dessert.
- Top the banana bread circle with two caramelized bananas and some vanilla pudding. Repeat this process 2 more times to create a total of 3 layers of banana bread, caramelized bananas, and vanilla pudding. Refrigerate the dessert tower for 1 hour.
- Remove the first strip of transparency film. Take the second strip, spread melted dark chocolate over it, and wrap it around the dessert tower. Refrigerate the dessert for 2 hours.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle a few chocolate pearls or chocolate chips on top and enjoy this stunning work of art.
