Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 3 very ripe plantains, peeled and sliced on the bias
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 can cream of coconut
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups crema
  • 2 qt vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • toasted coconut flake
  • coconut sugar

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!
