This recipe was inspired by mother-in-law’s sweet-potato casserole. I had some ripe plantains at home and I wanted to make something with an American twist and my mother-in-law makes a delicious sweet potato pie. So, I decided to create something similar, but with ripe plantains and coconut. Enjoy!

sounds soo good...I need to find a plantain source...I could get these sorts of things very easily when I lived in CA not so easy in NC...

Interesting twist with the plantains! My wife might like this, she's loves sweet potatoes.
Jane
Looks delicious!
Have you had Torta de Plantano Zuliana?? It's a great mixture of butter fried ripe platanos, white cheese, beaten eggs and cinnamon - layered lasagña style. Think you'd love it.
Erica
Jane- Yes, I have torta de plátano in my recipe list.

This looks really great. Plantains are so much like potatoes that the texture would be similar. Our favorite is still plantain chips and just plain roasted plantains. Never have had a good recipe for that, though.
Anna
That looks delicious. I never cooked with plantains, it's good to know you can make sweets with it.
