Banana

My recipe source is the Turbana Corp. As written, the recipe calls for fruit cocktail ... BUT I like to use fresh fruit (when in season), buy a sml jar of cherries to garnish & only use fruit cocktail as a last resort. This dish works well as part of a brunch menu, luncheon dish or dessert & can be paired w/a cookie or sml serving of pound cake when used as a dessert. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 6 cocktail glasses, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (15 ounce) cans fruit cocktail (drained, cherries removed & reserved)
5 bananas, sliced
1/4 cup Grand Marnier (or another orange liqueur)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup papaya (puree in blender)
1/4 cup fresh cream

Steps:

  • Combine drained fruit cocktail + banana slices & set aside.
  • Use a blender or hand-held whipper/blender tool to combine the remaining ingredients (a smooth sauce is obtained when papaya purée is prepared in a blender).
  • Spoon fruit/banana mix into 6 cocktail glasses & pour purée sauce over fruit. Garnish w/reserved cherries & mint leaves.
