Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Toasted coconut flakes
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until it forms a smooth slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the warm coconut milk mixture while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Step 4
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the sliced bananas and desiccated coconut to the saucepan, gently folding them into the thickened coconut mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dessert cool slightly.
Step 7
Divide the dessert into individual serving bowls or glasses. Garnish each portion with toasted coconut flakes and, if desired, a mint leaf for a fresh touch.
Step 8
Serve warm or chilled, depending on preference. Enjoy the creamy and tropical flavors of this Banana Coconut Dessert!
