Good to know

Chef's tip

To keep the banana slices perfect and free of browning, lightly brush them with lemon juice before arranging them, and pour on the glaze when it is lukewarm but still fluid, so it sets the surface without melting the cream.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very good, up to 2 months. Freeze in individual portions or whole, well wrapped in plastic wrap then in an airtight container. Thaw slowly in the fridge.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. The gelatin helps it hold together.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Ideally made the day before for optimal setting of the gelatin and flavors.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Cold dessert. Do not reheat.

Variations

Replace the chocolate cookies with speculoos for a spiced caramelized note.
Use plant-based gelling agent (agar-agar) at two grams for a vegetarian version.
Swap the decorative persimmon for slices of fresh mango in summer or raspberries in season.
For an extra touch of flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese filling.

Mistakes to avoid

Pouring the hot glaze directly onto the cream, which would melt the layers underneath.
Skimping on the chilling time in the refrigerator before removing the metal frame.
Whipping the heavy cream in a warm bowl, which would keep you from getting a firm whipped cream.
