The whole procedure of roasting bananas takes no more than one minute.

Take a plate and put ready-made caramelized bananas into it, pour the caramel on top, which remained in the pan, and pour in the sesame seeds. Instead of sesame, you can use cinnamon powder, coconut chips, pine nuts or grate a small piece of chocolate.

To make you need two bananas, one tablespoon of honey and the same amount of butter, a pinch of cinnamon and just a little salt. Peel bananas and cut them into slices or into three or four parts. In a skillet, melt the butter, add honey and cinnamon with salt, bring to a boil and dip banana pieces into the syrup.

Fry banana until golden brown on both sides and pour brandy, liqueur or dark rum. After a few minutes, the whole mixture should caramelize.

Dessert with syrup will appeal to your household. To prepare your favorite treats, we need: three bananas, a glass of sugar, raspberry syrup - 3 tbsp. spoons, 40 grams of butter, 4 tablespoons of water.

We put the thick-walled frying pan on the stove, pour water, put the butter and sugar. After boiling, reduce the temperature of the plate and cook the contents for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. After the mixture becomes a light amber shade, add raspberry syrup to it and mix well. We clean the bananas, cut them into two parts and dip them into the finished caramel for one minute, lay them on a plate, cool. That's all! The dessert is ready, call everyone to the table.

To prepare banana in the dough, you need to knead the shortbread dough, which is prepared from two bananas, 50 gr. butter, 2.5 tbsp. spoons of wheat flour, 1 tbsp. spoons of sugar, 2 tbsp. coconut shavings.The oil is pre-cooled in the freezer, then finely chopped with a knife, mixed with wheat flour and sugar, grind the resulting mass into a crumb and add coconut shavings.

In the pan put a culinary ring, at the bottom of which we fall asleep evenly 0.5 st. spoons of sugar, and then put the finely chopped bananas and fall asleep crumbs prepared dough. Fry the entire contents for 2 minutes, during which time the sugar should turn into caramel. Then the pan (it should be without a handle) is placed for twenty minutes in a preheated oven. We spread the prepared dessert on a plate, turning it so that the lower part with caramel is on top.

For the preparation of the cake, bake two vanilla biscuit cakes and prepare the impregnation of caramelized bananas.

Ingredients needed for impregnation:

• bananas - 3 pcs .;
• half a cup of granulated sugar;
• butter - 50 g;
• half a cup of hot boiled water.

Peeled bananas cut into circles with a thickness of not more than 2 centimeters. In a thick-walled pan, melt the butter and add sugar, stir everything until a transparent caramel has a golden hue. To the resulting mass add hot water, which begins to boil. Put bananas into boiling composition and simmer them for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. We saturate one cake with caramel syrup with bananas, and the other with cream filling, decorate the top with cream cheese.

We offer the second version of the layer for making a festive cake. Bake the cake and cut it in half, creating two identical cakes. To prepare the caramel, put 30 g of butter and a half cup of granulated sugar in a frying pan, which, with constant stirring, bring to a boil. We clean six bananas, cut each fruit into 5 parts, put it into boiling caramel, fry it from all sides and put it on a plate.

From the caramel left in the pan we prepare curd-yoghurt cream, for the preparation of which you will need 0.5 kg of cottage cheese, 400 g of yogurt, ½ cup of milk and loose gelatin (1 teaspoon). We put all the ingredients in the mixer bowl and beat well. In order to assemble a cake, we use a detachable form, at the bottom of which we lay the food film and the bottom cake. For the impregnation of the cake, use half of the prepared cream, put the caramelized bananas on top, on which we place the remaining cream. The resulting structure is covered with the second cake plate, and the sides of the cake are decorated with fresh slices of banana.

Now you need to decorate the top of the cake. For this we soak it with banana topping. To cook it, you need to dissolve 1 teaspoon of gelatin in 30 grams of boiled water. Using a fork in mashed potatoes, turn the peeled banana and add 30 g of granulated sugar. Puree mash 5 minutes in a skillet, cool and beat with a mixer together with the dissolved gelatin to obtain a homogeneous mass.

Thus, we prepared topping, which covers with an even layer the top and sides of our product. Ready to put the cake at 4 o'clock in the fridge to harden the cream. We remove now unnecessary food wrap and can be laid on the table.

There are many restaurants and cafes in our country that specialize in Chinese cuisine. The image of Chinese dishes is growing from year to year, and the dishes are adapted to the tastes and habits of Russian guests.

We present a pleasant culinary surprise compliment. The hit of the southwestern restaurants of China is a delicious dessert of caramelized bananas (Basy Xiangjiao). In Russia, this dish became popular only because it is very unusual to eat. Banana slices are carefully taken with Chinese chopsticks and dipped into a beautiful small porcelain bowl with chilled water. The top layer is immediately covered with a crispy crust, and the gentle warm delicacy remains inside.

Such a dish can be cooked without any problems on your own home cooking. To this end, you need three bananas, 3 tbsp. spoons of starch, 1 cup of refined olive oil for deep fat, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of sesame, ice cubes. A peeled banana should be cut into narrow pieces of 3 cm in length or with a bar device from a fruit, cut balls - it will be very original.

Spread banana slices evenly with starch. In a skillet, heat the oil to 190 degrees and fry the pieces until golden brown. This process happens very quickly - no more than 1-2 minutes. It is better to cook in deep fat in batches of six pieces - no more. Roasted ruddy fruit pieces are laid out on a plate with paper towels, which will absorb the excess oil.

It is necessary to prepare caramel - for this purpose, we add granulated sugar to half a glass of water and stir it constantly at low heat. After the sugar has completely dissolved, we add fire under the stew-pan to boil strongly and bubbles appear, and then without stirring we wait until the syrup becomes golden and thick.

Prepared banana pieces are dipped in liquid caramel for just a few seconds and spread on a serving plate in a beautiful slide, sprinkling evenly with sesame. Prepare a bowl with water, in which we drop ice cubes. Dessert is served hot, but to eat, you need to dip each piece into cold water to solidify the top layer. This is how we can treat our loved ones to caramelized bananas of Basy Xiangjiao without leaving home.
