Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bananas
- 12 pieces Dates
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or pistachios)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Remove the pits from the dates (if not already pitted) and chop them into small bite-sized pieces.
In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
In serving bowls or glasses, layer the banana slices and chopped dates alternately, creating 2-3 layers depending on the size of your dish.
Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Sprinkle chopped nuts over the whipped cream for added texture and flavor, if desired.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added aroma, if using.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
