Banana Coconut Treat Recipes

SWEETENED BANANAS IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Bring the coconut milk to a boil in a pot. Add the bananas to the coconut milk and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Dissolve the sugar and salt into the mixture. Stir the coconut cream through the mixture. Remove from heat; serve hot.

FROZEN PINEAPPLE TREAT

Steps:

• Slice the pineapple in half lengthwise, leaving the greens attached. Use a paring knife to cut away the fruit and core from both halves of the pineapple, leaving a thin border of fruit intact to make 2 pineapple boats. Cut the fruit into chunks and set aside. Place the pineapple boats in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
• Peel the banana and cut into chunks. Place the pineapple and banana chunks on a parchment-lined baking sheet or dish and freeze until frozen, about 4 hours.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the frozen fruit and cream of coconut. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick paste, about 3 minutes. Gradually drizzle in 1/2 cup water, pulsing, until the consistency of soft serve is reached.
• Scoop the soft serve into the frozen pineapple halves and garnish each with maraschino cherries and a small bottle of rum if desired. Serve immediately.

EASY AND ELEGANT BANANA COCONUT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 360 F.

• In the same medium bowl combine coconut flakes, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until everything comes together and hold the shape when you squeeze it.
• Peel all bananas, cut in half and split.

Spread the coconut filling evenly, gently pressing on top of the bananas. Sprinkle with the fancy large coconut flakes.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Let it cool completely. Cut bars into desired shapes.
