3. Decorate
Finish with a smooth layer of the chocolate cream. Lightly dust the top with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh strainer. Arrange fresh banana slices in neat rows across the top.
4. Chill and Set
This is the most important part! Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours (overnight is best). This allows the crackers to absorb the moisture from the cream, turning them into soft, “cake-like” layers.
💡 Expert Tips for Success
- Prevent Browning: To keep the banana slices on top from turning brown, toss them in a little bit of lemon juice before placing them on the cake.
- Coffee Twist: For a deeper flavor, dip the biscuits very quickly in cold espresso or strong coffee before layering.
- Serving: Use a sharp knife to cut clean squares. This dessert is best served chilled directly from the refrigerator.
