Preparation

Prepare the Ingredients:

Peel and slice the plantains or bananas.

Cook the Ladob:

In a large pot, combine the coconut milk, water, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Add the Vegetables and Fruits:

Add the sliced plantains or bananas, sweet potato, and taro root to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potato and taro are tender and the flavors are well combined. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
