How to Make Banana Poe
- In a large saucepan, combine the sliced bananas, water, and vanilla bean (or extract).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until bananas are very soft.
- Carefully remove the vanilla bean (if using), reserving the seeds. Drain the cooked bananas, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Transfer the cooked bananas to a food processor or blender. Puree until completely smooth.
- Add the manioc starch and reserved vanilla seeds (or extract) to the pureed bananas. Gradually add a little of the reserved cooking liquid if needed to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a small casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with butter.
- Pour the Banana Poe mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the poe is set and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before cutting into small pieces.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with coconut milk or cream and sugar to taste.
