BANANA STICKY RICE CAKES

Steps:

• First, make the rice. Place rice in a pot together with the coconut milk, water, salt and brown sugar. Turn heat to high or medium-high. Stir until the coconut milk has dissolved and mixed with the water and rice.
• When coconut-water reaches a bubbling boil, stir to loosen any rice stuck to the bottom of the pot. Turn down heat to medium-low (around #2.5 on the dial, if your stove has numbers). Half-cover with a lid and simmer like this for 20 minutes, or until most of the coconut-water has been absorbed.
• Turn off the heat, but leave the pot on the burner. Cover completely with the lid and allow to continue "steam" cooking on its own for another 10 minutes. Leave to cool completely, or if you're in a hurry, put the pot in the refrigerator.
• When rice has cooled, you're ready to wrap. Lay out a banana leaf approximately 1-foot square. You can cut the leaves if they are too big.
• Peel one of the bananas and lay it along one end of the leaf: this is how long your cake roll will need to be (you will want to have enough leaf left on either side of the banana to tie it later). Remove the banana and scoop some of the cooled rice onto the leaf, patting it down to approx. ½ inch thick, and as long or longer than the banana. You will also want to make this rice "bed" twice as wide as the banana (so that when you roll it, the rice will completely surround the banana).
• When you're finished making the rice bed, lay the banana on it, pressing it gently into the rice (you can break the banana in half to keep the roll straight).
• Lifting up the banana leaf, begin to roll so that the rice completely surrounds the banana. Tuck the leaf under and continue rolling until you reach the end of the leaf. Try to roll as tightly as possible.
• Secure each of the 2 ends with string (it will look like a firecracker). Place the roll in the refrigerator and leave to set for at least 2 hours, or overnight. You should have enough rice left for one more roll.
• When ready to eat, heat the roll in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 325 degrees, or barbecue it, turning the roll to cook on all sides (banana leaf will turn brown).
• Serve by opening up the banana leaf and then slicing the rice roll into 2-3 inch sections. Remove from leaf and eat as is, or roll the rice "cakes" in dry sweetened shredded [baking] coconut (either plain or toasted).

BANANA SPLIT ON A STICK

Steps:

• Thread 2 pieces each of banana, pineapple, and strawberry onto 8 - 8 in (20 cm) skewers. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate.
• In bowl, whisk together coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle or dunk skewers in chocolate sauce and sprinkle with chopped almonds, pressing into chocolate sauce if needed to make sure they stick. Chill skewers in refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make whipped cream, chill mixing bowl or bowl of stand mixer in freezer for at least 20 minutes. Carefully open chilled can of coconut milk and scoop thick coconut cream into chilled bowl. Save coconut water for another use. Using electric hand beater, or stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat cream until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add maple syrup and vanilla, and continue whipping coconut cream on high speed until well incorporated and fluffy. Transfer to serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Serve kebabs chilled with Coconut Whipped Cream on the side. Alternatively, using a piping bag with star piping tip, pipe little rosettes of Coconut Whipped Cream onto chilled kebabs just before serving.

TRADITIONAL BANANA SPLIT

Steps:

• Line up ice cream scoops next to each other in an oval deep dish or a banana boat.
• Cut the ends of the banana off (about 1/4 inch) while still in the peel.
• Slice in half longways.
• Pop each half of the banana out of the peel onto each side of the ice cream row, pressing down and in a little so it'll stay put.
• Top the vanilla ice cream with the pineapple, the chocolate with the chocolate syrup and the strawberry with the strawberry sauce.
• Spoon the wet walnuts over all three scoops of ice cream.
• Top each scoop with some whipped cream and a cherry for each.
• Enjoy!

BANANA SPLIT CAKE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 15x10x1-in. baking pan., In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs; mix well. Beat in bananas, sour cream and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture. Transfer to prepared pan., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Top cake with cherries, chocolate chips, marshmallows and, if desired, peanuts. Bake until chips are slightly melted and marshmallows puff, 3-5 minutes longer. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack; cut into bars. If desired, top with banana slices or banana chips before serving.

GRANOLA BANANA STICKS

Steps:

CAMPFIRE BANANA SPLITS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Spray 4 sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap bananas, with cooking spray.
• Slice the peel of the banana from stem to bottom, while slicing the banana inside lengthwise. The bananas can be cut into slices instead if you like, (while still in the peel) for easier handling later.
• Carefully open the banana just wide enough to place the chocolate chips and marshmallows inside the peel with the banana. Stuff with as much of the chocolate chips and marshmallows as desired.
• Wrap the bananas with the aluminum foil and place on the grill or directly in the coals of a fire. Leave in long enough to melt the chips and the marshmallows, about 5 minutes. Unwrap bananas, open the peels wide, and eat with a spoon.
