I don’t know what kind of global warming we are in today but it’s like the temperature is rising each and every single day. During this time in the Philippines there are a few things we like to eat on a hot summer season – ice cold desserts!
Forgive me but Ice cream is overrated on this weather as we got plenty ice cold desserts to choose from and one of these is the Banana Con Hielo. It’s a really simple recipe you can enjoy sharing with your family and friends whether your outdoor or not.
Ingredients:
- 6 pieces plantain (saging saba, sliced in circles or diagonally)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cup ice cubes
Method:
1. Make sweetened plantains. Put the water and sugar in a pot, stir well, add in the plantains. Boil in low heat until sugar is caramelised and plantain is cooked. Keep stirring to keep the sugar from getting burnt. Turn off the heat as soon as it gotten thicker caramel. Set aside.
2. Using a blender, combine the ice cubes and milk, blend until it turned into a little smoothie (not too smoothie).
3. Place the ice in a glass or bowl, place the sweetened plantain and its sweet caramel on top. You may add more milk as desired. Serve.
Enjoy!
