ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, I liked to dip my banana fritters in Chocolate syrup. Now that I'm older, I love dipping them in warmed creamy peanut butter. My kids love sweetened condensed milk and cajeta.
ReplyDeletelooks delicious! I will try to make that this week.
ReplyDeleteI love that Agua de Platano! I assume it literally means Water from Banana!!
ReplyDeleteOver ripe bananas also make a fast and easy ice cream. Toss the bananas, some sugar and cream or milk, blend up and freeze. I think you could just use your recipe for Agua de Platano and just process that in the machine too! I will try your recipe tonight!
ReplyDeleteBananas are amazing :).
ReplyDeleteGreat recipes!
Oh my goodness these look good! Why have I never thought to fry bananas? They fry plantains all the time. WOuld be awesome with some vanilla ice cream and chocolate or caramel sauce!
ReplyDeleteI love bananas! So I did a search for banana agua fresca and ended up here on your blog. I love tossing a ripe banana in the blender with 4 or 5 ice cubes and some milk. Ahhh. Refreshing!
