Instructions

Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork into a fairly smooth purée.
Pour the purée into a saucepan with the coconut milk, sugar and a pinch of salt.
Heat over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Add the vanilla and simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring often.
When it thickens and takes on a smooth, creamy texture, remove from the heat.
Let it cool a little, then divide among bowls.
Serve warm or cold, sprinkled with toasted coconut if you have some.
