Ingredients
- 6 pieces Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into halves lengthwise, then cut each half into 2-3 smaller pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and begins to form a light caramel, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Add the sliced bananas to the caramel, gently stirring to coat them evenly. Be careful as the caramel will be hot.
Step 4
Stir in the lemon juice and add the cinnamon stick. Reduce the heat to low and let the bananas simmer gently.
Step 5
Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The bananas will soften, break down, and meld with the caramel to form a rich, jam-like consistency.
Step 6
Once the mixture has thickened and deepened in color, remove it from the heat. Discard the cinnamon stick.
Step 7
Allow the Doce De Banana to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Step 8
Serve it on its own, with a dollop of cream, or as a topping for toast, pancakes, or ice cream.
