This is a Chinese dessert that I found to submit for the Zaar World Tour '05...
Coconut milk lends a sweet flavor to bananas in this quick and easy recipe. It makes a light dessert for two, or can easily be doubled to serve four people.

Ingredients

• 2 large bananas
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1 Peel the bananas and cut into bite-sized pieces.

2 In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil. Add the sugar and cinnamon, stirring to dissolve.

3 Add the bananas.

4 Bring back to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 3 - 5 minutes, until the bananas are tender but not mushy.

5 Serve hot, sprinkling extra cinnamon on top if desired.
