Poi is a traditional Samoan dessert made from mashing overripe bananas with coconut milk into a smooth paste. The dessert is usually eaten chilled, traditionally by mixing cold water into the paste, with modern recipes using crushed ice instead. Vanilla, lemon and sugar can also be added to enhance the flavour.
