Fruit Salad with Coconut Milk

This is a very interesting dish. My friend made this for a little gathering recently. She said it is originally from West Africa. If you are looking for something a bit different this is it.
NEED:
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup coconut milk
2 bananas, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado , peeled and sliced
1 small pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into bite size chunks ( or use canned....drain well)
1/3 cup lightly crushed salted peanuts

In saucepan, combine condensed milk and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Toss together banana and lemon juice. Drain off any remaining lemon juice.
Using 6 wine glasses ( you can use dessert dishes) arrange the bananas, tomatoes, avocado and pineapple in layers. Top each with crushed peanuts and drizzle coconut milk sauce over each.
Serves 6.

Enjoy!
