Recipe information

4 or 5 bananas

1/2 pound pitted dates, fresh or dried

1 1/4 cups light cream

Arrange alternate layers of thinly sliced bananas and halved dates in a serving bowl. Pour cream all over and chill for a few hours before serving. The cream will soak into the fruit and give it a soft, slightly sticky texture.
