Banana Fritters with Dulce de Leche & Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Recipe by Brent Draper

Serves – 2
Prep Time – 10 mins
Cook Time – 3 hours

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas
100g rice flour
50g all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
20g fine caster sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Coles vanilla bean ice cream
150ml ice-cold water
¼ cup Norco Full Cream Milk

Method

Start by removing the wrapper from the can of sweetened condensed milk. Place the can in a pot of simmering water and cook for 3 hours to create dulce de leche.

In a bowl, mix the rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, caster sugar, and 150ml ice-cold water to form a batter.

Chop the bananas in half if they are small, or into thirds if large.

Heat vegetable oil in a small pot to 170°C.

Using a skewer, dip the banana pieces into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, then remove and place on a paper towel to drain.

Open the can of sweetened condensed milk. If the dulce de leche is too thick, whisk in a little Norco full cream milk to loosen it until it is pourable.

Serve the banana fritters with a few spoonfuls of Coles vanilla bean ice cream and drizzle generously with the dulce de leche.
