Preheat the oven to 170 °C (air circulation).

For the cream: lightly whip the cold QimiQ Whip and QimiQ Classic Vanilla together until completely smooth, ensuring that the entire mixture is incorporated.

Add the mascarpone and sugar and continue to whip until the required volume has been achieved.

Spread the sponge base with apricot jam and arrange the banana slices on top. Cover with the cream and allow to chill for approx. 4 hours.

For the chocolate icing: melt the QimiQ Classic with the chocolate and butter over a steam bath. Allow to cool, spread on the banana cream and chill well (until the icing has set).
