Banh Chuoi (Coconut Banana Bread Pudding)

Banh chuoi is a sweet and tender Vietnamese bread pudding that is the perfect dessert or afternoon treat. There are many different variations of banh chuoi. Some are flat and fritter-like, while others are more cakey and there are those, like this one, that more closely resemble a traditional bread pudding. Look for ripe yellow bananas that aren’t overly speckled.

3) Add ½ loaf cubed bread to the coconut milk mixture, stirring to fully soak in the liquid. Gently fold in the banana rounds.

5) After slow cooking, remove pan from Suvie. Sprinkle 2 tbsp demerara sugar and 1 tbsp sesame seeds over the bread pudding. Return pan to Suvie and broil for 6-8 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking until the top is golden brown and fragrant (watch closely as this step goes fast!). Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into slices and serving.
