I used Deleget Noor dates and I did not whip the heavy whipping cream as DD (toddler) was asleep. I sprinkled dark brown sugar on top instead or mixing it in. It was OK with cinnamon but I preferred it without! Made for Went to the Market Tag - March '10.

What a nice dessert! DDs licked their fingers and so did I. My whipping cream was sweet already so I didn't have to add any sugar. Thanks.

This was pretty good. I didn't chop the bananas. instead I split it in half and scooped the cream/date mixture into it kinda like a banana split... just something fun for the kids. thanks for a nice recipe.

Oh so yummy! I made this for breakfast and cheated a little and used canned whipped cream! Thanks Nasseh!
