1 lb (453.6 g) ripe Vietnamese bananas or plantains

4 oz (113.4 g) sugar

3 tbsp small tapioca balls

4 pandan leaves or a few drops of pandan flavoring if leaves aren’t available

1/2 can coconut cream Savoy brand

2 tbsp roasted peanuts lightly crushed

2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds lightly crushed

Soak the tapioca balls in warm water for about 20 minutes, then drain.

Peel and cut bananas then marinate it in 4oz sugar to sweeten them. Make sure all sides of the bananas are covered in sugar, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 days. The longer you can marinate, the better.

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil with 2 knots of pandan leaves. Turn the heat to medium, and simmer for about 20 minutes to extract the pandan flavor.

Add the remaining ingredients into the pot (banana, coconut creme, tapioca, salt), simmer on medium for about 15-20 minutes more until bananas reach desired softness.
