Hot Bananas in Coconut Milk

Submitted by Elmotoo

"This is a Chinese dessert that I found to submit for the Zaar World Tour '05... Coconut milk lends a sweet flavor to bananas in this quick and easy recipe. It makes a light dessert for two, or can easily be doubled to serve four people."

I made it and found it good. I think of it as comfort food. I also blended a serving so it was more like a pudding and liked that better. The next morning I mixed it with steel cut oats having cooked them with less water. It was a lovely hearty breakfast. Definitely more than 2 servings, IMHO.

Absolutely delicious! I layered the bottom of my mug with marshmallows, added a drop of rum extract to the mix then poured it over the marshmallows to create a warm, sweet and very tasty treat. Thank you for the inspiration!

I was craving something sweet and found this recipe. Delicious!! But don't simmer too long or the bananas will get mushy. I also replaced the sugar with maple syrup.

I liked this, but it wasn't my favorite. My bananas became very mushy within a few seconds...... But, I will make it again with slightly under ripe bananas(: Oh, I used brown sugar, and I really liked that :D Thanks Elmotoo!

So easy to make, and it was absolutely delicious! I used light coconut milk. We enjoyed it as a dessert, but could also see it as a nice breakfast option. Thanks for sharing! Veg*n Swap 36
