Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 0.25 cups coconut milk
- 0.25 cups shredded coconut
- 0.5 pints vanilla ice cream (optional for serving)
- 1 teaspoons lime zest
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to foam.
Step 3
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the melted butter, stir, and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth caramel.
Step 4
Add the cinnamon and stir well to combine.
Step 5
Carefully place the banana halves cut-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and caramelized, then gently flip them over to cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in the dark rum and coconut milk, stirring gently to incorporate them into the caramel sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the bananas and cook for an additional minute.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let the bananas cool slightly.
Step 9
Serve the bananas warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Sprinkle lime zest over the dish for a fresh citrusy finish.
