- •¼ cup granulated sugar
- •1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
- Roasted the plantains: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a glass 9 x 13-inch baking dish, toss the plantains with the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well coated.
- Roast until the plantains are tender, but not mushy, about 30 minutes.
- Make coconut syrup: In a blender, combine the coconut cream, sweetened condensed milk, and crema. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Make the funnel cake: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, coconut milk, and eggs until thick and creamy.
- Pour the batter into a large squeeze bottle or gallon-size zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
- Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a circular motion to create multiple layers. Fry until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, then flip and continue frying until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more.
- Top the funnel cake with toasted coconut flakes, coconut sugar, the roasted plantains, and coconut syrup. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
