How to Make Banana Poi

  1. Mash 3 ripe bananas in a medium bowl until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of full-fat coconut cream, continuing to stir until well combined and the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon as needed. For a sweeter poi, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. For extra tang, squeeze in a little more lemon juice.
  5. Chill the Banana Poi in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled in glasses or small bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes (optional).
