Fried Plantains With Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Syrup Whipped Cream Recipe 445

Steps:

• Peel plantain and cut on bias into 1/2 inch pieces. In a skillet over medium heat combine oil and butter. Fry plantains until brown on one side (about 4 minutes) and turn to brown other side (3 to 4 minutes). Remove from pan to drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Transfer to serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Garnish with prepared whipped cream and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat about 1-inch of oil in heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F. Line a large plate with paper towels.
• Peel the plantains and discard the skins. Slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Fry the plantains in oil, turning occasionally, until a golden brown color, about 2 to 4 minutes. The longer the plantains fry the sweeter they are. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle the plantains with a little salt.
• Put the sugar and cinnamon in a brown bag, drop the warm plantains into the bag, and shake to coat evenly. Serve with rum whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
• Whip the cream just until soft peaks form. Add the rum and whip again, taking care not to over whip your cream. Serve now or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Melt 1 Tbsp. of the butter in medium skillet on medium heat. Cook half of the plantains 3 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Remove from skillet; set aside and keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and plantains.
• Combine sour cream, whipped topping, sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Serve plantains with sweet cream sauce.
