Filipinos sure love making the most out of bananas. With the Philippines being an abundant source of the fruit, the people were able to enjoy it to the fullest! Not only are the fruits being useful as ingredients for several Filipino recipes, but many desserts benefit from it too. For sure, it is because of its sweetness and amazing exotic taste. Personally, I think desserts made from fruits like bananas are the best! And I’m sure many people have the same opinion as me.

It’s just so good that I would make an extra batch of it to serve as an after-dinner dessert. It suits any time of the day, so you have many options when it comes to when you should cook it.
