1. This gourmet cooking recipe is a simpler version of the more famous
banana cream pie but is just as delicious. This is a fun alternative and requires
only a few ingredients namely bananas, vegetable gelatin, milk, sugar, oranges,
and fresh cream. This is a treat that kids will have a hard time resisting. It is also
ideal for toddlers who still have no teeth. Make this for a children’s party and it
will be gone in no time.
The bananas are mashed and mixed with cream and other ingredients and
combined with the gelatin then allowed to set in a gelatin mold. The orange slices
are used to garnish the banana cream jelly. The cream has to be whipped before
adding with the mashed bananas. To whip the cream, use an electric hand
blender or you can manually whip it with a whisk, using vigorous strokes.

2. Serve this banana cream for a light dessert after a heavy or rich meal. It can also
make a yummy breakfast and can accompany pancakes, French toast, or waffles.
Banana cream is also fabulous with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Top
the banana cream with chocolate or caramel syrup, or whisky or rum sauce for an
exquisite treat.
Gelatin is often derived from collagen that is obtained from animal by-products
but there is gelatin derived from vegetables, which you can use to make this
recipe. You can serve this to vegetarians as long as they are allowed to
consume milk and cream, which vegans avoid since these are dairy products and
come from animals. When making banana cream, use unflavored gelatin so that
the natural flavors of the bananas and cream will shine through. The gelatin is
simply used for texture. You can also use other fruits for garnishing like
strawberries or mangoes, both of which combine well with bananas.
