Chef's Tips

For an extra rich flavor, you can reduce the coconut milk slightly before adding the bananas. Adjust the palm sugar to your preferred sweetness level. The pudding will thicken more as it cools.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If palm sugar is unavailable, you can use brown sugar or granulated sugar, adjusting the quantity to taste. Other ripe, soft fruits like mango or taro can be used instead of bananas for a different flavor profile.

Storage & Reheating
