Vietnamese banana ice cream(Kem chuối)


Remind me of the childhood, i always went to the grocery store after school for this ice cream.At that time it was 2 cents i guess...It is a extremely thin layer of ice cream,hold by a small long stick and covered with a clear wrap. That's why they sell it for a very cheap price...of course,for the kids like me. I could never forget the mouthwatering taste....Cool me down immediately in such scorching weather.

INGREDIENTS: (make 12)
- 6 ripe plaintains ( or whatever banana you have but plaintains taste the best)
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 100 ml water
- 1tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp tapioca starch
