Creamy Sweet Plantain Pie
Tags: Dessert
Yield: 8
- 3 extremely ripe plantains
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lime juice (I used about half a lime)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 prepared pie crust
- optional: whipped cream
- Preheat the oven and prepare pie crust according to instructions. Peel and slice the plantains into 2" pieces (slice off the ends, make a slit down the middle, and peel open). Heat the butter in a pan over medium high heat and add the plantains and agave. Saute until the plantains are beginning to caramelize and a nice golden brown color, about 15 minutes.
- In a blender or food processor, add all of the other ingredients as well as the plantains and blend.
- Once the pie crust is ready, add the pie mixture and bake for 30 minutes at 375 or until the pie is set. Slice, top with whipped cream if desired, and enjoy!
- Consider trying maple syrup instead of honey. Consider sprinkling a little shredded coconut on top.
