A Dessert Inspired by Comfort & Simplicity
Bananas, biscuits, cream, and nuts are classic ingredients found in many home desserts around the world. But when you caramelize the bananas and layer everything beautifully, you turn simple ingredients into a luxury-tasting dessert.
This recipe is similar in spirit to:
- Banana pudding
- Trifle desserts
- Layered fridge cakes
But it has its own unique charm thanks to:
- The caramelized banana & walnut layer
- The light milk-based cream
- The contrast between creamy and crunchy textures
🍌 Ingredients (Exactly As You Provided)
- 3 bananas, sliced
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 4–5 walnuts, chopped
- ⅓ cup water
- ⅓ cup whipping cream (cold)
- ⅓ cup milk powder
- 1 tablespoon condensed milk
- ¼ cup cold water
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla (or vanilla bean powder)
- 100 g plain biscuits (tea biscuits or similar)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Method (With Detailed Explanation)
1️⃣ Caramelized Banana & Walnut Layer
In a pan over medium heat, add the brown sugar and ⅓ cup water.
Let the mixture simmer until the sugar dissolves and turns into a light caramel syrup.
Add:
- The sliced bananas
- The chopped walnuts
Cook for 2–3 minutes, just until:
- The bananas soften
- The sauce thickens
- Everything becomes beautifully glossy and coated
Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
This step creates the heart of the dessert:
Sweet, soft bananas, crunchy walnuts, and warm caramel flavor.
2️⃣ Cream Filling
In a bowl, combine:
- Whipping cream
- Milk powder
- Condensed milk
- Vanilla
- ¼ cup cold water
Whisk or beat until the mixture becomes:
- Smooth
- Creamy
- Slightly thick
This cream is:
Light, milky, gently sweet, and perfect to balance the caramelized bananas.
It’s not heavy like buttercream or cheesecake — it’s soft, refreshing, and airy.
3️⃣ Biscuit Layer
Lightly crush the biscuits — not too fine. You want some texture.
If you like a softer dessert, you can:
- Lightly dip the biscuits in milk
The biscuits act like:
A sponge layer that absorbs all the flavors and becomes soft and cake-like after chilling.
4️⃣ Assemble the Stack
In serving glasses or one large dish, start layering:
- Biscuit layer
- Cream layer
- Caramelized banana & walnut layer
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with:
- Cream or banana on top
This layering creates:
- Beautiful visual contrast
- Perfect balance of textures
- Even distribution of flavors in every bite
5️⃣ Chill & Serve
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving.
This chilling time:
- Firms up the cream
- Softens the biscuits
- Blends all flavors together
After chilling, the dessert becomes:
Creamy, soft, rich, and perfectly set.

- Soft soaked biscuit
- Light creamy layer
