Share recipe
Description
This recipe was developed from the influences of my trips to Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa, and the Caribbean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 3 very ripe black plantains, peeled
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 drop red food coloring, or as needed
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust
- 1 mango, sliced
- 1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
Directions
- 1. Place plantains in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl, and mash until smooth. Add 1/2 cup white sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and red food coloring.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Flour a pie plate; line the plate with the pie crust.
- 3. Pour the plantain mixture into the pie crust. Arrange sliced mangos on top and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar.
- 4. Bake in the preheated oven until mostly firm, about 30 minutes.
