A warm and comforting dessert featuring bananas simmered in coconut milk with tapioca pearls. A sweet and creamy Vietnamese treat.
Ingredients
- 4 medium Bananas
- 2 cans Coconut Milk
- 1/2 cup Small Tapioca Pearls
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place the 1/2 cup Small Tapioca Pearls in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak for 15 minutes.
- 2Peel the 4 medium Bananas and slice them into 1.27 cm thick rounds.
- 3In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cans Coconut Milk, 1/4 cup Sugar, and 1/4 tsp Salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, which is about 85°C.
