Thanks! You two are quick! Antonia, this is so delicious in summer when mangos are ripe and delicious. I looked at them today, but they were so sad and hard, and so was the pineapple, so bananas it was!
You had me at coconut tapioca pudding!
Me, too. Really like the mango/pineapple alternatives. Am really looking forward to trying this one! ;o)
Coconut tapioca with banana might be one of my all-time favorite desserts. Mostly I've enjoyed this at my favorite Thai restaurant, and the banana is definitely not caramelized. But to add caramelized banana! YUM!! I cannot wait to try this. Thank you for the recipe!!
