Looking for a delicious homemade dessert with a unique combination of flavours? Boost Banana Coconut Delight is a creamy, sweet, and irresistible treat made with toasted bread, ripe Nendran bananas, fresh coconut, jaggery, and a rich Boost-flavoured milk base. This easy dessert brings together simple ingredients to create something truly special for your family.
This Bread Milk Pudding is a delicious twist on traditional milk desserts, featuring golden toasted bread sandwiches filled with a sweet banana and coconut mixture. Soaked in chilled, creamy milk and flavoured with Boost, every bite offers a wonderful combination of textures and flavours. If you love experimenting with Kerala ingredients, this Nendran Banana Dessert is a must-try!
The highlight of this Banana Coconut Bread Pudding is its delicious filling. Nendran bananas are lightly roasted in ghee and combined with jaggery, freshly grated coconut, and cardamom powder. This creates a naturally sweet, aromatic filling with a lovely traditional Kerala touch.
Instead of using plain bread slices, small rounds are cut out and toasted in ghee until golden and crispy. The banana filling is sandwiched between two toasted bread rounds, creating individual portions that are easy to assemble and serve.
The milk base gives this dessert its creamy texture. Milk is combined with condensed milk, Boost powder, and cornstarch to create a smooth, mildly thickened mixture. Once cooled and refrigerated, it becomes a delicious base for soaking the bread sandwiches.
As the toasted bread sandwiches absorb the chilled milk, they gradually soften and take on the rich flavours of the milk mixture. A final dusting of Boost powder or cocoa powder and a cherry garnish make the dessert even more appealing.
Nendran Bananas: These traditional Kerala bananas have a naturally sweet flavour and firm texture, making them ideal for the filling. Choose ripe but firm bananas.
Boost Powder: Boost adds a distinctive malt flavour and a delicious chocolaty note to the milk base.
Fresh Coconut: Grated coconut provides texture and a lovely traditional flavour that pairs beautifully with banana.
Jaggery: Jaggery adds sweetness and a rich caramel-like taste to the filling.
Condensed Milk: It makes the milk base richer, creamier, and sweeter.
Ghee: Toasting the bread in ghee enhances its aroma and gives it a golden, crispy texture.
Cardamom Powder: A little cardamom adds a beautiful fragrance to the banana and coconut filling.
Boost Banana Coconut Delight is a wonderful way to transform everyday ingredients into a delicious homemade dessert. The combination of crispy toasted bread, sweet Nendran banana filling, fresh coconut, jaggery, and creamy Boost milk creates a delightful treat with a unique Kerala touch.
Try this delicious dessert at home and enjoy a creative twist on traditional bread pudding. Serve chilled, garnish with cherries, and make every occasion a little sweeter!
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of milk to a boil; add condensed milk, boost, and cornstarch. Stir and boil to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom. Once it starts to thicken slightly, turn off the heat and allow it to cool. Refrigerate until chilled.
Cut small round shapes out of the bread slices using a cutter, heat ghee in a pan, and toast the slices until golden and crispy on both sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add 1 tbsp ghee, add the Banana chunks, and roast for about a minute. Add 2 tbsp jaggery, a quarter cup of grated coconut, and cardamom powder; cook for 1 more minute and switch off the flame.
Spread a layer of the banana filling over one toasted bread slice and cover it with another slice to make a sandwich. Continue the same with the remaining bread slices. Pour the chilled milk base into a dessert tray and arrange the bread sandwiches in it. Spoon some of the milk mixture over the bread sandwiches to ensure they are completely soaked and become soft. Dust with boost or cocoa powder and garnish with cherries; serve chilled.
