What you need

Amount:×1

Mascarpone cream

¾ cup heavy cream, 150 ml
¼ can sweetened condensed milk, 100 g, about 1/3 cup
5 oz mascarpone

Caramelized fruit

2 ripe but firm bananas
15 nice strawberries, washed
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp sugar

How I make it

Whip the cream to stiff peaks.
Add the condensed milk and the mascarpone and mix until the cream holds its shape.
Slice the fruit about ¼ inch (½ cm) thick.
Melt the butter in a skillet and fry the fruit for about 30 seconds per side, so it doesn't cook too long and turn soft.
Add the sugar and let it melt.
Place a heaping spoonful of the mascarpone cream in the center of each plate and make a well in the middle.
Spoon the caramelized fruit into the well and serve right away.

What I've learned

I fry the fruit only about 30 seconds per side so it stays firm and doesn't go soft.
