Step 1: Crush the Biscuits
Break digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Aim for a sandy texture that will create a delicious base for the cake.
Step 2: Create Creamy Banana Mixture
Peel and mash bananas until completely smooth. Use a blender for an ultra-creamy consistency. Stir in condensed milk, cream, and vanilla until well blended. The mixture should look rich and velvety.

Sprinkle a layer of crushed biscuits over the banana mixture, pressing down gently to create a compact layer. Continue alternating between banana mixture and biscuit crumbs, ending with a final layer of banana mixture on top.
Step 4: Chill and Set
Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the biscuits to soften and the flavors to mingle, creating a cake-like dessert with incredible depth of flavor.
Step 5: Add Final Touches

Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 4–5 ripe bananas, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 can (397 g / 14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 300 g (10 ounces) digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
Cream and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish (Optional):
- Grated chocolate or cocoa powder
- Crushed nuts
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Meticulously crush digestive biscuits into fine, uniform crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor, ensuring a consistent texture that will create a sturdy base for the dessert.
- Transform ripe bananas into a velvety smooth puree, blending them thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and create a uniform mixture.
- Incorporate sweetened condensed milk into the banana puree, stirring vigorously until the two ingredients merge into a luscious, creamy concoction with a glossy appearance.
- Enhance the mixture’s richness by gently folding in heavy cream and vanilla extract, which will add depth and complexity to the flavor profile.
- Select an appropriate serving dish and begin layering, starting with a generous spread of the banana-condensed milk mixture across the bottom.
- Carefully distribute a uniform layer of crushed biscuits atop the creamy base, pressing them gently to ensure they adhere and create a stable foundation.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating between banana mixture and biscuit crumbs, building height and creating an enticing visual pattern.
- Conclude the layering with a final luxurious coating of banana and condensed milk mixture, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing surface.
- Refrigerate the dessert for a minimum of three hours, preferably overnight, allowing the ingredients to meld and the biscuits to soften into a cake-like consistency.
- Optional: Before serving, embellish with delicate banana slices, a drizzle of condensed milk, or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings to elevate the dessert’s presentation and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Select ripe, soft bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and easier mashing.
- Use digestive biscuits or graham crackers interchangeably for the base layer, ensuring consistent texture.
- Crush biscuits to a fine, uniform consistency to create a smooth, even cake structure.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa powder to the banana mixture for depth.
- For a gluten-free version, replace regular biscuits with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or rice crackers.
- Keep the cake refrigerated to maintain its creamy consistency and prevent bacterial growth.
- Enhance presentation by garnishing with fresh berries, chocolate drizzle, or toasted coconut flakes.
- Prepare the cake a day ahead to allow flavors to develop and textures to blend seamlessly.
