Plantain Dessert

Yum, I visualized this dessert and made it happen.

Scoop out a pineapple and put it in freezer for 2 – 3 hours. Chop, slice and dice pineapple insides, your favorite berries and melons and put in the fridge.

Pan heat some molasses, smokey rum and touch of pineapple juice with some sliced plantains. When the plantains look like they are getting soft, pull the pineapple from the freezer and half fill it with vanilla ice cream. Install refrigerated pineapple chunks, berries and melon on top of the ice cream.

Time it so when you stuff the pineapple with ice cream, the plantains are fully heated and soft. Pour the heated plantains over the top of the chopped fruit and ice cream you just stuffed into the pineapple and get ready to watch some TV. You can even top with your favorite chocolate sauce and crushed nuts and it wouldn’t be a problem. The cherry on top is also your choice.

Looking for a different way to enjoy pork?

Try pork loin marinated in smokey rum, molasses and garlic. I just threw this stuff together and baked it. When it came out of the oven, everything seemed to be good in the world. Served with rice and everything was good in the world as the flavors danced across my tongue.
