To prepare this beautiful dessert, follow these few simple steps. Firstly, create a base layer by adding banana mousse foam to the dessert dish. Next, place two slices of caramelized bananas on top of the foam. For the third layer, add a delicious caramel sauce followed by a small chocolate mud cake. After that, add banana ice cream to the top of your layers. To create the edible sand, use almond meal to create a crumble that represents the white sandy beaches of the Maldives, and sprinkle it over the ice cream. Finally, garnish with edible beach shells and foraged herbs found around The Lighthouse at InterContinental Maldives.
