Dessert made from Ryazhenka

To prepare a dessert from ryazhenka Plombir, soak instant gelatin in water (approximately 5-10 minutes). Take 50-60 ml of water for 1 tablespoon of gelatin. Place the gelatin and water in the microwave for 3-4 seconds. Make sure the liquid does not boil, otherwise the gelatin will lose its properties. Stir the swollen gelatin with a spoon until fully dissolved.

For the preparation of a healthy dessert, both store-bought ryazhenka and homemade ryazhenka made from starter culture are suitable. In a bowl, mix the ryazhenka, sour cream (15-20%), sugar, and vanilla. Beat with a hand whisk or mixer on low speed.

Add the cooled gelatin to the mixture and whisk well again.

Slice the bananas into rounds. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar onto a skillet, heat it, and place the bananas on top. Fry the banana slices in sugar on both sides until a golden crust forms.

Place a few slices of roasted banana at the bottom of the glasses, small jars, or ramekins...
