Ingredients
  

For the Caramel
  • 100 g Granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp Water
For the Pudding
  • 3 Medium ripe bananas Ensure bananas are perfectly ripe for best sweetness.
  • 500 ml Whole Milk Can substitute with almond or coconut milk for a vegan option.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Optional

Method
 

Make the Caramel
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar with the water and heat over medium flames.

  3. Allow it to cool and harden.
Prepare the Banana Mixture

  2. Place them in a blender with the whole milk and blend until smooth.
Cook the Pudding
  1. Pour the banana mixture into a clean saucepan and heat over medium-low flame.
  2. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Set and Chill
  1. Pour the thickened pudding over the hardened caramel and smooth the top.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours.
Serve
  1. Run a thin knife around the edges of the mold, place a serving plate on top, and flip it carefully.
  2. Serve chilled, drizzled with caramel and topped with banana slices or whipped cream if desired.
