Ingredients

• 4 whole Bananas
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup Brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into two pieces, creating 4 pieces per banana.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble gently.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves into the melted butter, creating a smooth caramel sauce.

Step 4

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the sauce and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Carefully place the banana slices into the skillet, arranging them cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bananas are golden brown and caramelized. Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking the bananas.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, then pour the dark rum into the skillet. Stir briefly to incorporate it into the sauce. Allow the rum to cook for 30 seconds to burn off some of the alcohol, leaving a rich, flavorful sauce.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and let the sauce cool slightly for 1 minute.

Step 8

To serve, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl or on a dessert plate. Arrange the caramelized bananas around the ice cream and drizzle the warm rum sauce over the top.

Step 9

Sprinkle with chopped nuts or shredded coconut if desired for a finishing touch.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent dessert!
