Notes

  • Use ripe seasonal fruits for best results.
  • Other fruit combinations can include chopped apples and pears, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, pitted cherries, chopped peaches.
  • For a thicker consistency use plain Greek yogurt. Regular plain yogurt has a thiner, sauce-like consistency which I prefer for this recipe.
  • Double the sauce ingredients for a sweeter dessert.
  • Don’t cut up or mix in the bananas until you are ready to serve this dish. Bananas turn brown quickly after they are peeled and cut.
  • You can store the chopped fruit and the sauce separately in the refrigerator. I don't recommend storing the fruit combined with the sauce.
  • Dairy-Free Alternatives: Substitute the crema or sour cream with cashew crema and choose dairy-free yogurt such as coconut yogurt. Instead of sweetened condensed milk, use store bought or try this recipe for homemade.
