Banana Con Yelo

anana (SABA) con Yelo is popular during at summer in the phillipines and very similar to ‘minatamis na saging’ where we create a caramelized plantain slices. The only difference is that the former is served with crushed ice.

Ingredients:

5 pcs saba na saging, sliced diagonally (vertically, crosswise or in circles, whichever you prefer)

1 cup brown sugar

2 cups of water

¼ cup of fresh milk

1 ½ of crushed ice

Cooking Instructions:

Foremost, make sweetened plantains. To do so, put saba na saging, water and brown sugar in a pot. Boil in low heat, allowing the saba to be cooked and the sugar to caramelized. Constant stirring is needed to prevent sugar from getting burnt. When you already achieved a thicker caramel, put the fire off, remove the sweetened plantains from the pot and put it in a platter.

Place pieces of sweetened saba in a separate bowl, topped it with crushed ice and layer it with another set of ‘minatamis na saging’. Pour fresh milk. Serve and enjoy!
