This dessert has a tropical touch. It’s very easy to make and you can prepare it several days ahead of time. All you have to do at the last minute is coat the sliced banana with caramelized sugar, take the dessert out of the freezer and garnish it, which is very convenient especially when you’re celebrating a special occasion. You can come up with many variations of this recipe, depending on your preferences. Instead of using mango sorbet, try using passion fruit or other fruits for your sorbet. Or you can reverse the order, first adding the banana cream and then pouring the sorbet in the center. The best thing about this delicious dessert is that there are no strict rules to follow.
