It’s Friday and that can only mean one thing – its treat day! Yay!  Today’s recipe is Banana & Coconut dessert – the perfect way to end a busy and hectic week.  If you’ve had a week like mine then you will definitely want to put your feet up and enjoy this lush treat.  It is perfect, bursting with flavour; so quick and easy that even your kids can make it.  It has the right balance of sweetness, for all of you who don’t particularly have a sweet tooth; but for those of you that do, simply try it with a side of creamy vanilla ice cream.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Serves: 5-6 people

Ingredients

  • 5 bananas
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 80mls of sweet orange juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 150g of shredded coconut

Method

Cut each banana into 4 quarters (horizontally then vertically)

Arrange the bananas into a greased 9 inch round baking tray.  Dot the butter over the bananas

Pour on the orange juice and lemon juice

Sprinkle over the sugar and coconut

Bake in the oven at 190 ?C for about 10 minutes or until the coconut is golden brown in colour.
