This is really awesome. When I make it we're lucky to get two days out of one batch.
One other comment...you should make this the day before you want to serve it. It really is NOT ready until a good 8 + hrs has past. The difference is astounding. :)
I just happen to have a bunch of sorry looking bananas that need to be made into something before I go....
