        1For the compressed strawberries: Slice 300g of strawberries in half and place them in a vacuum bag. Add a cinnamon stick, orange zest, and lemon zest to the bag. Vacuum-seal the bag to compress the strawberries and intensify their flavours. Refrigerate the bag overnight to allow the flavours to infuse.

        2For the banana bread: Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). In a bowl, mash 400g of bananas until smooth. Add 100g of eggs, 100g of soft brown sugar, 100ml of vegetable oil, 170g of self-rising flour, and 3g of ground cinnamon to the mashed bananas. Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Pour the batter into a lined loaf tin and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
 - 
        3For the burnt banana curd: Place 200g of bananas on an oven tray and grill until they turn black. Let the grilled bananas cool, then transfer them to a blender. Add 100g of eggs, 50g of butter, 10ml of lemon juice, and 100g of sugar to the blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over low heat for about 6 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat, let it cool, and blend again until smooth. Transfer the curd to a squeezy bottle for easy serving.
 - 
        4For the banana crisps: Mix the juice of 1 lemon with 10g of sugar. Thinly slice 100g of bananas and brush them with the lemon and sugar mixture. Arrange the banana slices on a lined oven tray. Bake at 80°C (176°F) for 2 hours, or until crisp.
 - 
        5For the meringue: In a mixing bowl, whisk 100g of aquafaba (chickpea water) with 2g of cream of tartar on high speed for about 10 minutes, until it starts to thicken. In a saucepan, simmer 110g of caster sugar with 50ml of water until it reaches 116°C (241°F). Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the whisking aquafaba while continuing to whisk. Stir in 2g of crushed pink peppercorns. Let the meringue cool, then transfer it to a piping bag.

        6Assemple the parts: Cut the banana bread into portions. Pipe the burnt banana curd onto each portion. Add a quenelle of frozen yogurt. Place the compressed strawberries on top. Pipe the meringue on top of the strawberries. Use a blow torch to glaze the meringue. Garnish with banana crisps. Finish with a sprinkling of ROLO® Mini Mix-In.
