Nilupak na Saging



This kakanin reminds me of the food vendors that goes house to house to sell assorted kakanin (sweets) in a big basket in my hometown, Iloilo City. A recipe so easy to make and you only need 3 ingredients.






You will need:
  • 12 pcs steamed/boiled saging na saba (cooking banana)
  • 1 cup young grated coconut
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (add more if you want it sweeter)
  • margarine or butter
  • steamed banana leaves


Whole Steamed Saba Bananas, 2 packs of 6 for $3.-
Product of the Philippines





Cooking Direction: 
  1. Using a mixing bowl, combine banana, sugar and 1/3 cup of young coconut.
  2. Crush the mixture using a mortar and pestle (almiris).
  3. You don't want it too crushed so easy when crushing.
  4. Add the remaining young coconut to the mixture and stir one more time.





How to serve: 

Brush light the molder with margarine/butter. (I used the smallest Tupperware I have for molding)

Pack it up with the nilupak na saging.

Arrange in a platter covered with steamed banana leaves and serve.
