Saba con Yelo is actually very similar to ‘minatamis na saging’ where we create a caramelized plantain slices. The only difference is that the former is served with crushed ice.
Ingredients:
- 5 pcs saba na saging, sliced diagonally (vertically, crosswise or in circles, whichever you prefer)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups of water
- ¼ cup of fresh milk
- 1 ½ of crushed ice
Foremost, make sweetened plantains. To do so, put saba na saging, water and brown sugar in a pot. Boil in low heat, allowing the saba to be cooked and the sugar to caramelized. Constant stirring is needed to prevent sugar from getting burnt. When you already achieved a thicker caramel, put the fire off, remove the sweetened plantains from the pot and put it in a platter.
Place pieces of sweetened saba in a separate bowl, topped it with crushed ice and layer it with another set of ‘minatamis na saging’. Pour fresh milk. Serve and enjoy!
Cooking tips:
- When picking for plantains, choose for the ones that are not too ripe.
- Other than fresh milk, you may also use evaporated or condensed milk.
- To include slices of leche flan in your con yelo is optional.
