For the Crust:
- 1 cup 114 g digestive biscuit crumbs (or graham crackers)
- 2 tablespoons 28 g light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons 57 g unsalted butter, melted
For the Dulce de Leche:
- 1 14 oz / 397 g can sweetened condensed milk (or ready-made dulce de leche)
For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup 237 ml heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 tablespoons 14 g powdered sugar

If making homemade dulce de leche, simmer an unopened can of condensed milk in water for 3–4 hours, ensuring it stays submerged. Cool completely before opening.
In a bowl, mix biscuit crumbs and sugar. Stir in melted butter until evenly coated. Press 2 tablespoons into the base of each dessert cup. Chill.
Whip cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled until ready to use.
Layer each cup with 2 tablespoons of dulce de leche, spreading evenly.
Arrange banana slices over the caramel.
Add whipped cream, either spooned casually or piped decoratively.
For double-layer cups, repeat the layering once more.
Garnish with chocolate curls and refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Make Dulce de Leche Ahead: Preparing it a day early saves time.
-
Chill Equipment: Cold bowls and whisks help cream whip faster.
-
Use Ripe Bananas: Overripe bananas can become mushy, so choose just-ripe ones.
-
Texture Contrast: A sprinkle of nuts adds crunch.
-
Presentation: Serve in clear glasses for the best layered effect.
