Valentine’s Day is for desserts

It’s Valentine’s Day – eat dessert first! The other day, a culinary student was struggling to come up with a fast dessert for her assignment. I wrote to her, simply.

“Peel a banana and lightly bake. Bathe it in sweet milk. Dress it up with peanuts and coconut. Torch it with fire and let it shine.”

Inspired by Southeast Asia, this dessert is easy on both money and diet budget.
