Dessert
Plantain Sundae with Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream
By: Brandon Gouveia
This tropical sundae is a vibe of crispy caramelized plantains tossed in brown sugar and salt, buttery rum caramel sauce, toasted coconut, biscoff cookies, and scoops of creamy Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream. Sweet, salty, fruity, and boozy in the best way.

Ingredients
For the Caramelized Plantains:
2 ripe (yellow with black spots) plantains, sliced
2 tbsp neutral oil (coconut or vegetable oil)
2 tbsp brown sugar
Pinch of salt
Rum Caramel Sauce:
⅓ cup brown sugar
1–2 tbsp dark rum (to taste)
2 tbsp heavy cream
Assembly:
Crushed biscoff cookies
Optional: extra rum drizzle, fresh strawberries,
¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Share:
In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the coconut flakes until golden brown and fragrant (about 3–5 minutes). Set aside.
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry plantain slices until golden and slightly crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Remove from the pan, drain on paper towels, then immediately toss with brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
Make the Rum Caramel In a small saucepan, melt Tillamook Salted Butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and cook until it begins to bubble, about 2 minutes. Add rum and stir and let it simmer for 30 seconds to cook off alcohol (or leave it bold!). Finish with heavy cream and whisk until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
Scoop Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream into bowls. Top with caramelized plantains, a drizzle of warm rum caramel sauce, a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Add crushed biscoff cookies. Enjoy!
