Burnt Butterscotch Bananas with Ice Cream and Rice Pudding, and another Surprise Dessert!

Ta-dah! This was REALLY good! After making the Tempered Pineapple with sticky rice, I had a ton of sticky rice leftover, which was part of Nadiya's evil plan! On page 223 of Time to Eat there is a delicious recipe for Burnt Butterscotch Bananas with Ice Cream and Rice Pudding!

Vegan ingredients/substitutions I used:

300 g Unsalted butter: Miyoko's Unsalted Cultured Vegan Butter

500 g Light Brown Sugar: Woodstock organic light brown sugar

600 ml Double Cream: Organic Coconut milk

Vanilla Ice Cream: So Delicious Coconut Ice Cream, vanilla flavor

Other ingredients used: a pinch of salt, bananas, leftover rice pudding.

Phoenix was my little helper this time! First, she cut the bananas, which we set aside for later. Then, she helped me stir the melted butter and coconut milk and sugar. It was supposed to thicken up, but since I used different ingredients it didn't quite work the same, so I added tapioca starch, which certainly made it thicker! Unfortunately, then there were all of these little tapioca globules that refused to assimilate into the mixture, so I ended up straining them all out and using them as a separate dessert. :)

After straining the tapioca out, there was only delicious burnt butterscotch sauce left, which I happily spooned onto plates that had leftover rice pudding and bananas on them. The ice cream came last, and I had fun dressing up the plates for the family. They loved it! :)

And now for the surprise: Burnt Butterscotch Frappe!

On the same page, there is an ADDITIONAL recipe for the vat of burnt butterscotch that I made, which is so Nadiya! :)

The next day, I brewed one pod of organic decaf coffee. I had to do "surgery" to the pod, since we don't have a coffeemaker. :) I cut it open and put the grounds in a tea filter in a cup and brewed it with hot water that way. I put 50 ml of it into a blender with ice, used 150 ml of coconut milk, and blended. It was really delicious, but not too strong on the coffee or butterscotch flavor, so I added some cinnamon on the top. I made another one using more coffee and more butterscotch sauce, and that turned out beautifully. Here are pictures of them both!

Here's the first version, with cinnamon on the top.

Here's the second version with more coffee/butterscotch. Both were delicious! Here's the video story of these two desserts, complete with adorable Phoenix footage: https://youtu.be/DTFz7h3vT6c
