The secret to this delicious dessert is in using perfectly ripe plantains, yellow with black spots or black, and high quality full fat coconut milk.

Ingredients

4 ripe plantains
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 vanilla pod ( or 1 tsp pure organic vanilla extract)
2 cups full fat coconut milk
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tsp raw honey

Directions

Peel the plantains and cut them into medium sized pieces. About 3 per plantain.
In a medium-sized saucepan bring the coconut milk to a simmer. Add the cinnamon, salt and vanilla and stir.
Add the plantains to the simmering mixture and cook until the plantains are very tender and the milk is absorbed, roughly 8-10 minutes. Add more milk if necessary. Remove from heat and add honey. Serve hot.

Recipe Note

For a more complex flavor you may add a splash of cognac.
