- Boiled icing
- Forms the sweet, spreadable base that holds the banana pieces.
The step that matters
Thickening the boiled icing before adding the bananas. The icing must thicken enough to spread, because sugar syrup that is still too thin will run and soak into the bananas, making the filling loose and watery.
