In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the banana purée, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, stirring well to mix.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 20–25 minutes, until the mixture thickens considerably and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Pour into a bowl or sterilized jars, allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving chilled.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra-velvety texture, use an immersion blender at the end of cooking. Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
