Step 1: Prepare the Base (Optional)

1. Combine the crushed biscuits with melted butter in a bowl and mix until well combined.
2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a serving dish or individual dessert glasses.
3. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.

Step 2: Make the Mango Layer

1. In a saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens.
2. Dissolve the cornstarch in water, then stir into the mango mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
3. Let the mango mixture cool, then blend until smooth if you prefer a puree.

Step 3: Fry the Bananas

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
2. Add the banana slices and sprinkle with brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bananas are golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4: Prepare the Cream Layer

1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
2. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Step 5: Assemble the Desser

1. Layering:
   • Start with a layer of the mango mixture over the prepared base.
   • Add a layer of the whipped cream.
   • Place a layer of fried banana slices on top.
   • Repeat the layers if desired, ending with whipped cream.
2. Garnish:
   • Top with fresh mango slices, fried bananas, a drizzle of caramel or honey, and crushed nuts for added texture.
3. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set and develop flavors.
