About

Drunken Plantains go the extra mile to make plantains a simple yet scrumptious dessert! Plantains are sweet, but have a slightly savory flavor that their banana cousins do not, making them ideal for braising in a homemade butter rum sauce and topping with crunchy toasted almonds. Drunken Plantains are a breeze to put together, plus it's one of those desserts that can be eaten on its own or served over ice cream... the choice is up to you!
