Green banana is one of the most popular desserts in Indonesia. This dessert is a sweet treat that requires quite a bit of patience to make. The process of making it is easy, but actually, green banana ice cream has many toppings in the original recipe. However, we will only use two combinations here with marrow porridge topping. Many people, knowing the name, would think that this is a drink, but you are wrong, this is a dessert that is quite filling to enjoy whenever you like. Usually, this dish is served as a traditional dish as an appetizer or dessert.

Es pisang ijo is made from ripe bananas that are steamed and then coated with a cooked flour mixture and colored green. The topping itself is usually enjoyed with a special marrow porridge or even with pearls and red beans.

Are you curious about the recipe? Let's take a look at the step-by-step preparation.

Ingredients for Making Green Bananas

6 bananas
6 tablespoons of rice flour
6 tablespoons of wheat flour
2 drops of pandan paste
1 tablespoon of margarine
250 ml of coconut milk
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
½ teaspoon of salt

Procedure for Making

Steam the bananas briefly for about 5 minutes, until the skin wilts.

Mix in the coconut milk, then add and mix in both types of flour.

Next, add the sugar and salt, then mix and stir until evenly blended.

Add the pandan paste, stir again, then cook over low heat while stirring.

Cook until thickened and no longer sticky, let cool, then add margarine and stir until evenly mixed.

Divide the dough into 6 portions, roll out thinly, then add the bananas. Shape the dough into long strips resembling bananas.

Then steam for about 20 minutes, let cool at room temperature, and serve.

Making green bananas would not be complete without making the accompanying porridge. The porridge is quite simple, using ingredients that you often find.

Porridge Ingredients

5 tablespoons rice flour
500 ml coconut milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 pandan leaf

Making The Porridge

Mix the coconut milk and rice flour in a pot and stir until well blended.

Add the granulated sugar, salt, and pandan leaf, then cook until thickened.

Serving suggestion

Serve the green bananas by cutting them into small pieces, then add the cooled porridge and combine with the coconut syrup. See how beautiful and delicious it is? Everything is so beautiful—I absolutely love the soft colors, the combination of green and white makes it very pretty, and the drizzle of red syrup makes it even more beautiful. You can add ice if you like, but I prefer to keep the porridge in the refrigerator—it tastes even better when enjoyed cold.

The texture is very soft, and the porridge is spectacular, but when you mix the green banana with the porridge, it becomes even more delicious, especially with the syrup adding just the right amount of sweetness.
