A banana for dessert
Frutta Realistica Banana is a frozen single-portion pastry dessert that recreates a ripe banana in dessert size. It belongs to the Frutta Realistica range, fruit-shaped desserts designed to surprise guests at the end of the meal. Each carton holds 8 pieces. For your business, it means always having a striking dessert in the freezer, with no preparation and no pastry work in the kitchen.
The dessert
It has the curved shape of a banana, with a bright yellow surface speckled with brown, like fruit at just the right ripeness. In the recipe, white chocolate and cream are combined with banana purée and a caramel glaze made with salted butter caramel and Guérande salt, together with a cereal and cocoa bean crumble and fat-reduced cocoa powder. The taste is banana, with the indulgent note of salted butter caramel. Each piece rests on a rectangular black tray, protected by a clear lid and placed in its own compartment inside the carton.

How to serve
Frutta Realistica is a frozen product. To serve, simply take it out of the freezer and leave it at room temperature for about 2 hours, as indicated on the label. The single portions are packed separately, each in its own container, so you thaw only the pieces you need and return the rest of the carton to -18 °C straight away. Once thawed and kept at +4 °C, the dessert stays unaltered for 2 days, which makes it easy to plan the evening service or the next day. Serve it as it is, in the centre of the plate: the fruit shape does all the work.
Ideal for
Restaurants and pizzerias looking for a show-stopping dessert without tying up the kitchen, bars and cafés that need an eye-catching item for the pastry counter, hotels for their dessert menu, and caterers for buffets, events and the end of a meal. The realistic fruit shape sparks curiosity at the table, while the single-portion format helps you keep portions and costs under control: one piece, one dessert.
Storage
Store the product at -18 °C until use. After thawing, if kept at +4 °C, it stays unaltered for 2 days. The product is subject to natural weight loss and is sold by the pack, not by weight: the sales unit is the carton of 8 single portions.
