Thai · Dessert
Banana in Coconut Milk
A classic Thai home-style dessert of ripe bananas simmered gently in lightly salted, sweetened coconut milk until soft and glossy, finished with a swirl of raw coconut cream and toasted sesame seeds for crunch. Warm, simple and quick, it's the kind of pudding found at Thai street stalls and family tables alike, built on the classic Thai balance of sweet, salty and rich coconut.

Instructions
1
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, sugar and salt and set over medium heat.
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves, about 3 minutes.
3
Add the banana chunks and simmer uncovered for 6-8 minutes, until the bananas turn glossy and slightly translucent at the edges and the liquid reduces and thickens slightly.
4
Remove from the heat and divide the bananas and warm coconut liquid between two small bowls.
5
Drizzle the reserved coconut cream over the top of each bowl so it sits in a thick swirl rather than mixing in.
6
Scatter the toasted sesame seeds over the top and serve warm.
