This is a Thai recipe creamy and not too sweet, with all the healthy benefits of bananas, so rich in bone-building phosphorus and calcium, heart-healthy potassium, vitamins A and B6. Great for those leg cramps!

    I halved the recipe and ate some for lunch today. Well kind of halved it. I used three bananas, and I also reduced the amount of sugar. I used only one tablespoon for half the ingredients. (A simple taste preference; Australians generally don’t eat food as sweet as Americans do). I had some mango left over from when I made Paula G’s Mango Shake Mango Shake a few days ago, so I had mine with mango, topped with a spoon of yogurt. Sheer decadence! As if it needed to be any creamier! Just SO yummy. This recipe is one I know I will be making often because it is SO quick to make and oh SO delicious! I look forward to making it again, and to sharing it with others. Thanks, Rita, for another fabulous recipe!

    A really comforting dessert. Loved the ease of prep. Sprinkled a little more cinnamon over top at serving.

    I followed the directions exactly and was not disappointed. This is a delicious dish. IT took about 5 minutes to put together and another 5 to cook it. My husband and I absolutely loved it. The slight salty taste really went well with the sweetness of the sugar and the smooth, rich coconut milk. This is addictive. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!
