How to Make Banana In Coconut Cream

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and a pinch of sea salt.
  2. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is warm (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
  3. Add 2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  4. Gently simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until bananas are tender but still hold their shape.
  5. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
  6. Divide the warm banana coconut mixture into 6-8 small bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts (optional).
