PLANTAIN DATE CREAM
(A Whole Fruit Non-Dairy "Ice Cream")

Ingredients: Plantains (ripe), Dates (pitted)

Preparation

Begin by peeling and freezing ripe plantain slices. (Use one or two plantains to make each serving.)

When the plantain slices are frozen, place them in a high speed blender. Add about 4 pitted dates per the equivalent of each whole plantain.

Cover blender and run it at high speed. (make sure that all the plantain slices and dates are "creamed" together.)

Spoon out into serving bowls.

TIP: If you need to make more than one batch, place the bowls of plantain cream in the freezer until all the other batches of plantain cream are prepared.

Re: Re: Ok another Plantain question....

I lov them the simple way. Heat up some oil (just a few table spoons) cut the plaintain in half. slice then lenght wise a little less than a quarter inch thick, Douce them in salt water and dry off ( the salt brings out the sugar)then fry till slightly brown, slowley. Remove place on paper towel to get off oil. then serve with a sprincle of Cinnamon. Can be served as sweet part of a dish( sweet and savory)they can also be boiled if you are on a diet and served like a boiled sweet potatoe.
