INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Sprinkle about a third of the rice in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole
dish.  Then sprinkle on a third of the bananas and a third of the sugar on
top of them. Continue sprinkling in thirds until you're done. Pour on the
milk and creme de cacao and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and bake in a 375
degree pre-heated oven until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is
tender, about 1 hour.  Serve warm.
We discovered that it also tastes good cold, standing in front of the
refrigerator :-)
You can substitute skim milk or evaporated skim milk instead of whole milk.
Also, if exotic bananas aren't available, substitute regular ones. I used
evaporated skim milk, regular bananas, and I think I left out the liqueur.
Arborio is the short-grained Italian rice traditionally used for risotto.
My regular supermarket does carry it. Perhaps another kind of rice would
work.

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
