Instructions
Prepare the Coconut Milk Sauce
- Add coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, water (or coconut water), and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
Prepare the Bananas
- Slice the bananas into ½-inch thick pieces and place them into a heatproof bowl.
Assemble
- Pour the coconut milk mixture over the bananas (through a sieve). Make sure the bananas are fully coated (to prevent browning) and gently remove any visible air bubbles.
Steam
- Once the water in your wok comes to a boil, steam on low heat for about 5 minutes.
Finish and Serve
- Top with cinnamon, toasted nuts, and a drizzle of honey. Serve warm.
Notes
Use ripe bananas — very ripe bananas give the best natural sweetness and a softer, creamier texture after steaming.
Cornstarch helps thicken the sauce — it creates a silky, pudding-like consistency when steamed with coconut milk.
Steam on low heat — this prevents the coconut milk from splitting and keeps the sauce smooth and glossy.
Coconut water adds extra fragrance — if you use coconut water instead of plain water, the dessert will have a deeper, more fragrant coconut aroma.
Add toppings just before serving — nuts stay crunchy, and the honey melts beautifully over the warm bananas.
Serve immediately — this dessert tastes best when it’s warm, soft, and creamy.
