This is a decadent dessert, one of those "special occasion" treats. But it is sublime. I was very pleased with this recipe.
8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche*
5 or 6 ripe bananas, sliced
6 egg whites
12 T. sugar
In a medium sized bowl, mix the cream cheese and the dulce de leche until it's all incorporated. Arrange on the bottom of a 10 inch ovenproof dish.
Place the sliced bananas over the cream cheese and dulce de leche mix.
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
Beat the egg whites until firm, then slowly add the sugar, constantly beating until it doubles in volume and it looks fluffy. Gently spread on top of the bananas.
Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until is nice and golden and the bananas start to caramelize.
Place in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Serve with vanilla ice cream on the side, if desired.
*You can find the dulce de leche at the Latin section of your grocery store or next to the condensed milk. If you'd like to make it at home, place a can of condensed milk in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, turn heat down to medium and cook for about two hours. Make sure to cool it completely before opening the can to avoid any burns.
