1

Add 4 cups of whole milk to a pot along with 2 small cinnamon sticks and 1 and 1/4 cups of sweetened condensed milk.

2

Stir the mixture to dissolve the condensed milk and let it simmer on low heat to infuse the cinnamon flavor.

3

In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

4

Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth, ensuring there are no large chunks.

5

Return to the pot with the milk mixture, and slowly add the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

6

Cook on low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.

7

Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring to ensure it doesn't overflow.

8

Once it boils, give it a final stir and remove from heat, letting it rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
