Recipe:

  • 1 large banana (ripe, or 2 small)
  • 1 can coconut milk (regular or light)
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup brown sugar (loosely packed; depending on desired sweetness)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 8 to 10 fresh litchis (peeled, or canned litchis, drained)

Description:

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Peel the banana (or bananas) then slice them in half lengthwise. Cut these lengths into smaller sections–roughly 2 inches long.
  3. Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan or pot and place it over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the sugar and salt, stirring to dissolve (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Start by adding 1/4 cup sugar, taste-testing for sweetness. If you’d like it sweeter, add a little more.
  5. Add the banana and litchis. Continue stirring until the bananas and litchis are warmed through (1 to 2 minutes).
  6. Serve warm or chill and serve cold.
