How to prepare
To start making banana, in 3 shallow separated dishes add flour, egg and panko.
Dip a slice of banana in the flour then egg and Finally, coat it in panko. Transfer to a plate or wire rack while you do the rest.
Heat about 1 inch of oil to 180 c.
Gently lower 3-4 slices of banana into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
Try to maintain an oil temperature between 170-180 c.
Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
For the ricotta cream, start by straining ricotta cheese on a strainer and try to take out as much moisture as possible. In a bowl whisk ricotta with sugar and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl whisk whipping cream until fluffy and creamy, fold the ricotta mix into the whipping cream until well incorporated.
To serve, on a plate layer the banana and top with ricotta mix.
Garnish with caramel and powdered sugar and serve.
