Banana Po’e (This was delicious!)
INGREDIENTS:
* butter or coconut oil, for greasing pan
* about 7-8 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into chunks
* 1/2 cup brown sugar (could also use palm sugar), plus extra for sprinkling
* 1 cup cornstarch, sifted
* seeds scraped from 1 Tahitian vanilla bean
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 can full fat coconut milk, unshaken and refrigerated for 2-3 hours
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 and butter or grease a 2-quart baking dish
Place the banana in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. You should have four cups of banana puree. Pour into a large bowl and add the brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla bean seeds, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until firm/set.
Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. Cut into cubes and place in a bowl. Remove the top from the coconut milk. Spoon the cream, which should have risen to the top, over the cubes of banana po'e. Sprinkle with a little extra brown sugar and serve.
Firi Firi (The donut/twinkie things they had for dessert. Sooooooooo good. Like addictively so.)
Ingredients:
• 4/5 cups all purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar, plus more to coat
•1 pinch salt
•2.5 tsp dry yeast
•1/3 cup water, lukewarm
•6.75 oz. coconut milk
•Vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions:
1Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. Add 1 tbsp of the sugar, mix well and leave the yeast aside to activate until frothy.
2Put all the ingredients (including the frothy yeast) in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk well. You need to obtain a thick and smooth batter. (You can also do this by hand)
3Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place to rise for 3 hours.
4Put the batter into a piping bag and cut a 5 cm – 2 inch hole (or use a 5 cm – 2 inch round tip).
5Heat the vegetable oil until it reaches 170°C – 340°F.
6Pipe the batter into the hot oil cutting out pieces of approximately 13 cm – 5 inches in length.
7Fry them on both sides until golden brown (they need to be more brown than golden!).
8Put them on a plate covered with kitchen paper to drain the excess oil, then roll them in granulated sugar and serve!
Notes
Make sure the oil is at 170°C – 340°F. If the temperature is lower your Firi Firi will become soggy and if it is higher, they will burn and will not cook inside!
