You can never go wrong with the combination of banana, chocolate and cream
There are countless recipes for no-bake cakes made from fresh bananas. But how many recipes do you know for a cake with chocolate-covered bananas? None, right? Try this recipe and you’ll see that this unusual ingredient will lift your cake to a much higher level. For the preparation of this great cake we will need:
- a packet of butter cookies,
- 7 chocolate-covered bananas,
- 200 ml sour cream,
- 200 ml whipping cream,
- 200 g powdered sugar,
- optionally whipped cream for decoration.
Just mix all the ingredients! Could it be any easier?
Prepare a cake pan and line it with baking paper. Whip the whipping cream together with the sour cream and powdered sugar. Put the butter cookies into a sturdy plastic bag and crush them with a kitchen mallet into small pieces (a great opportunity to involve the children). Also cut the chocolate-covered bananas into small pieces and gently fold them into the cream along with the cookies. Pour the prepared mixture into the ready cake pan and chill in the refrigerator so all the flavors can meld. However, if you’re pressed for time the cake can be eaten immediately. You can decorate it with whipped cream. If you fancy a small change, you can use caramel or chocolate cookies instead of plain butter cookies. If you’re preparing the cake for a special occasion and want to decorate it, pecans with caramel work well, for example.
