    Here's a something that I grew up eating and now make for my daughter. It's a dessert-type treat that is typically eaten with crema fresca (creme fraiche) - or not... I eat them just plain.

    Fried Plantains

    2 - 3 very ripe plantains - they have to be black on the outside and soft. If they are still yellow they will be too hard and not sweet
    2 Tbsp. coconut oil

    Peel and cut plantains in half. Then slice plantain into 1/4 - 1/3 inch slices.
    Pan-fry in oil until brown - flip slices until both sides are a dark brown - this will allow the sugars to caramelize.
    Drain on top of paper towels. Serve warm.

    Follow instructions on box to make jello. Before placing jello in refrigerator to set, add berries into the liquid mixture. Let jello set. Serve using desired amount of whipped cream. Enjoy!
