Recipe of Torta de Banana

Brazilian banana cobbler

 

REGION: Minas Gerais

This is a very easy pie that my mom used to make since I was a child. In Brazil we have several types of bananas. In US, use the yellow banana you commonly find in grocery stores. Prefer the slightly green bananas for this baked pie.

1 qt milk

10 tbs granulated sugar

3 tbs of powdered sugar

Ground cinnamon

12 bananas split in halves. (prefer slightly green ones)

Cream:

In a saucepan, combine 10 tbs of granulated sugar with 5 tbs of cornstarch. Stir in the egg yolks. Pour the milk in. Mix with a wood spoon. Bring the liquid to boil and simmer for about 20 minutes until you get a cream. Let cream cool  before assembling the pie.

 

Cover the bottom of pan with 1/2 of cream.

Make a layer with 1/2 of the bananas and sprinkle granulated sugar and cinnamon.

Distribute the remaining cream.

Make a second layer with the remaining bananas and sprinkle sugar and cinnamon.

 

Beat egg whites in small mixer bowl until it becomes stiff peaks, keep mixing and add 3 tbs of powdered sugar.
