Method
- Cook coconut cream over medium-low heat until oil separates and the curds turn golden. Strain and reserve the latik and coconut oil.
- Combine water, muscovado, salt, pandan, and 1 tablespoon reserved coconut oil in a wide pan.
- Simmer until sugar dissolves and the syrup begins to thicken.
- Add saba in one layer and cook gently, turning once, until tender and glossy but still intact.
- Lift the bananas out and reduce the syrup until it coats a spoon.
- Return the saba briefly to glaze, then transfer to a serving dish.
- Top with latik immediately before serving.
