This is a reworking of my grandmother's Barbados creams: we're going the way of the coconut and the banana. It's scarcely a fancy pudding, but sometimes it can be sweetly comforting to have something a little homespun, and almost from the nursery. This is not far from that old favourite, bananas mashed with cream and brown sugar. Hard to beat, to be sure, but the coconut yoghurt and rum certainly add a little something.
You need to make these the morning of the evening you want to eat them (or the day before, if that's easier for you), but they take no more than 5 minutes to prepare. So they are very quick to make and you ease the burden on that short time after you get back from work in the evening.

My son made the Carribean cream at the weekend for his family to try, they were excellent, it would be nice to have some desserts which have nosugar in so he can make me some as I am a diebectic and couldn't eat them. I am very interested to do the trifle and will let you know it turns out.

My son is home to visit from his post in the Army. I honestly don’t think he knows how much we look forward to seeing him ………. even short visits are so very welcome. His impending visit jump starts me to think of memorable meals I want to share. We served him two Carribean Creams for dessert.
