''Minatamis na saging'' (literally "sweetened banana") is a
Filipino dessert made with chopped
saba bananas cooked in a sweet
syrup (''arnibal'') made with
muscovado sugar and water. Some recipes also add a little bit of salt and
pandan leaf or
vanilla extract. Other ingredients can also be added like
sweet potato,
sago, or other fruits like
jackfruit. It can be eaten on its own or added as an ingredient to other desserts (notably for ''
halo-halo''). Adding the dessert over milk and shaved ice also results in another dessert known as saba con yelo (also sabá con hielo in
Spanish).
