Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- You really need soft ripe bananas (even over-ripe) for this recipe - when they are mashed you are looking for an almost liquid (thick liquid!) consistency not just small chunks of banana. This is because the banana itself provides moisture to the base.
- Don't overmix the addition of the flour - just mix enough so there are no streaks of flour in the mix.
- I have used dried dates in my recipe, but you could use fresh dates instead if you have them.
- The cream cheese frosting is quite soft. If you would like it a bit thicker then just add more icing sugar.
