🥛🍌 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
2 large ripe bananas (the sweeter, the better)
1 ½ cups cold milk (any kind: regular, almond, oat, etc.)
Optional but delicious:
1 spoon of honey or sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
Crushed biscuits or cookies
Cinnamon or cocoa powder
Nuts for extra crunch
🌀 How to Make the 5-Minute Magic Dessert
Step 1 — Blend
Slice the bananas and add them to a blender with the cold milk. Blend until perfectly smooth and creamy.
If your bananas are very ripe, the mixture will be naturally sweet. If not, add a little honey or sugar.
Step 2 — Thicken (optional but recommended)
To get a pudding-like consistency, pour the mixture into a bowl or cups and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.
But honestly? You can eat it immediately like a creamy mousse or drink it like a smoothie!
Step 3 — Add toppings (the fun part!)
This is where the magic happens. Add:
Crushed biscuits
Banana slices
Chocolate drizzle
Cinnamon
Nuts
Whipped cream
If you want it to look extra fancy, layer the mixture with biscuits in small glasses. It looks like a mini banana trifle!
💡 Tips for the Best Flavor
Use spotty, overripe bananas — they give maximum sweetness.
Add vanilla for a dessert-shop aroma.
Want it thicker? Blend in ½ banana extra or 1 spoon of instant pudding mix.
Want it colder? Use frozen banana slices.
Want it richer? Add 2 tablespoons of cream or a spoon of condensed milk.
