This is a common recipe from the Cook Islands. Mashed pawpaw, or banana, is combined with starch, baked, then dipped in coconut cream (either sweetened or not). Ingredients:
1 cup starch (cornstarch, arrowroot, potato starch) |
2 cups pawpaw or 2 cups bananas, mashed |
1 (15 ounce) can coconut cream (sweetened or unsweetened) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; grease a square baking dish.
2. Combine the mashed fruit and the starch until smooth; add 1/4 cup coconut cream and mix well.
3. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for 30 minutes (it will be like a pudding).
4. Meanwhile, warm the remaining coconut cream in a saucepan and heat until thickened and will coat the back of a spoon.
5. Let baked pudding cool to warm and dip spoonfuls into the thickened coconut cream before placing in serving bowls.
6. Serve warm.
