INDONESIAN BANANAS FOSTER

Indonesian Bananas Foster image

When I ate bananas Foster the first time, it reminded me of this dish. The concept is the same-sliced bananas with a very sweet sauce. However, the bananas used are plantain bananas, and instead of rum to enhance the sauce, this dessert uses creamy coconut milk. -Loanne Chiu, Fort Worth, Texas

1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk

Spoon 6 tablespoons cream from top of coconut milk and set aside. Pour remaining coconut milk into a large saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, water, molasses, vanilla, salt and pie spice.
