The cure for any sweet tooth!

Fried Plantains with Raspberry Jam and Vanilla Ice Cream





I recently discovered a ridiculous sweet tooth that I have, and have been creating new and different desserts that you too will crave to solve your sweet tooth anytime. Change up your normal bowl of vanilla ice cream with this delicious recipe.





Ingredients

2 Ripe sweet plantains (they should be brown, like bad bananas)
1 cup Canola or Vegetable oil
1tbsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Light brown sugar
1 pint Quality Vanilla Ice Cream
1/2 cup Raspberry Jam
To taste Sea Salt





Peel and slice the plantains on the bias into about 6 pieces. Preheat your oil in a medium saute' pan over medium heat. Then place the plantains into the oil and pan fry until golden brown on both sides (the plantains should sizzle when placed in pan). Once golden brown remove and place on paper towels to drain extra oil. Sprinkle both sides with the cinnamon sugar mixture. In a bowl add 2 scoops of ice cream, heat the jam for 15 to 25 seconds until warm and drizzle over ice cream. Place in plantains and and just a pinch of sea salt to the bowl.





This will definitely satisfy any sweet tooth you may have in the future. On a side note, plantains are a great item to have in your home the can be served in savory and sweet dishes and are packed with vitamins.





As Always, Enjoy!
