Mash the ripe plantains into a puree.
Mix the cornmeal, coconut milk, molasses, brown sugar, vanilla, anise, and salt.
Add the plantain puree and raisins to make a thick dough.
Pass the banana leaves through hot water to make them flexible.
Divide the dough among the leaves and wrap into small parcels.
Steam the parcels for 30 minutes.
Open the leaves once warm and serve.
💡 Tip: The dough should be thick enough to scoop with a spoon; too much liquid spreads inside the parcels and guanime loses its shape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve guanime dulce warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon alongside coffee or ginger tea.
