Banana in Coconut Cream

Rita~'s Note:

This is a Thai recipe creamy and not too sweet, with all the healthy benefits of bananas, so rich in bone-building phosphorus and calcium, heart-healthy potassium, vitamins A and B6. Great for those leg cramps!

A really comforting dessert. Loved the ease of prep. Sprinkled a little more cinnamon over top at serving.

I followed the directions exactly and was not disappointed. This is a delicious dish. IT took about 5 minutes to put together and another 5 to cook it. My husband and I absolutely loved it. The slight salty taste really went well with the sweetness of the sugar and the smooth, rich coconut milk. This is addictive. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!
