This is my original recipe to make use of leftover bananas and to create a delicious dessert also a no bake one. This is also egg-less. Unlike basic tiramisu this uses no espresso or coffee. I like the amaretto and one can layer the dessert also in bowls instead of pans. Read more I find this tastes quite like a banana pudding. I think a amaretto chocolate sauce or fresh berries may be a great accompaniment but I am thrilled how great this tasted even without a sauce. I am sure one can manipulate the recipe around a bit too. Enjoy! See less
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup cup Amaretto liquer divided or more if needed shopping list
- 2 Pkg Italian lady fingers ( Savoiardi ) 24 ladyfingers per pkg or as needed shopping list
- juice from 1/2 large lemon shopping list
- 4 large ripe bananas shopping list
- 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts ( almonds, hazelnuts etc ) shopping list

How to make it
- In a blender place lemon juice, 1/4 cup amaretto and 1/4 cup heavy cream and nuts
- Add bananas and blend to puree into a smooth semi thick soupy consistency
- In a large bowl place the marscapone cheese, sugar to taste, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup amaretto and beat until smooth and thick- don't over beat
- Place remaining amaretto into a bowl
- Dip ladyfingers briefly into liquer to moisten and then coat all sides in the banana mixture
- Place lady fingers in a single layer to cover bottom of a buttered deep oblong or square pan. I used a 10 inch square pan and so the ladyfingers fit even and snug.

- Sprinkle on flaked sweetened coconut
