Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0 (to serve) Ice cream or whipped cream (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the banana halves to the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Flip the bananas gently and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the bananas to a serving plate and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and begins to bubble, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully pour in the dark rum and let it simmer for 1 minute to burn off the alcohol. (Optional: Tilt the pan slightly and ignite with a long lighter for a flambé effect. Make sure to stand back and use caution.)
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Drizzle the warm rum sauce over the caramelized bananas.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch. Serve with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Step 9
Enjoy your Caramelized Banana with Rum Sauce immediately!
