Ingredients

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup whipped cream

Directions
Step 1
Prepare the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 3
Remove the caramel sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
Toast the pecans: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Slice the bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
Step 6
Assemble each sundae: Place one scoop of vanilla ice cream in a dessert bowl or underlaying dish.
Step 7
Arrange banana slices around the ice cream. Drizzle warm caramel sauce generously over the ice cream and bananas.
Step 8
Sprinkle toasted pecans evenly over the top. Repeat for all servings.
Step 9
Top each sundae with a dollop of whipped cream and finish with a maraschino cherry.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
