Ingredients:
* SERVES 3-4
* 1 large ripe banana, OR 2 small
* 8-10 fresh lychees, peeled (see below), OR canned lychees (drained)
* 1 can coconut milk (regular or "lite")
* 1/4 to 1/3 loose (not packed) cup brown sugar, depending on desired sweetness
* pinch of salt
Preparation:
1. Peel the bananas, then slice them in half lengthwise. Cut these lengths into smaller sections - roughly 2 inches long.
2. Pour the coconut milk into a sauce pan or pot, and place over medium-high heat. Add the sugar, stirring to dissolve (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Start by adding 1/4 cup sugar, taste-testing for sweetness. If you'd like it sweeter, add a little more.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients. Continue stirring until the bananas and lychees are warmed through (1-2 minutes).
4. Serve immediately, or cover and place in the refrigerator for later. This dessert is excellent served either warm or cold (cold is great for hot summer days, while warm is a perfect comfort food during cooler weather). ENJOY!
