Does this look good?
Well, it just so happens that it is. Mouthwatering, sweet craving filling, woes-be-gone, good!
I was feeling particularly down in the dumps so I thought, “why not eat my feelings away?” Just kidding! Kinda…
Anyways I was peckish for this delish dessert I made eons ago when we had some friends over, except I didn’t have any of the ingredients and the budget cannot budge this week (thanks, stupid car..). I was not going to be dissuaded so easily. I need my self pity dessert, damn it! Naturally, I took myself to Pinterest and found a recipe for a main ingredient I was missing: graham crackers. It’s a good recipe, I used spelt flour instead of oat bran though.
While I was making those I left my can of condensed milk boil on the stove top for two hours, turning it into toffee sauce. Yum. Beware when opening the can.
The whole dessert came out lovely, even my made up whipped cream, which was neither cream nor whipped. Still, it achieved the sorrow soaking deliciousness that was required.
Assembly instructions below if you’re also in pursuit of a indulgent treat, whatever your reasons 😊.
Ingredients:
2 bananas
2 -3 cups Graham cracker crumbs
One can of sweetened condensed milk
Whipped cream
Raspberry for garnish (is it called garnish if it’s for a dessert? )
Serves 2-4 . Or one . I won’t judge.
Directions:
1. Boil the sealed can on condensed milk for two hours, keeping fully submerged- top off needed. Once cooled open can, ta-da! Toffee!
2. Line bowl with crumbs
3. Liberally scatter chopped banana over crumbs
4. Pour toffee over bananas
5. Slather with whipped cream
6. Garnish with pretty fruit if desired
7. Stuff face with great satisfaction, destroying sorrow.
Cheers!
