Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until dissolved, creating a caramel-like sauce.
Step 4
Carefully add the bananas to the skillet, cut side down, and cook for 2 minutes until they are caramelized. Flip them gently and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 5
Pour the dark rum over the bananas and let it simmer for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off. Turn off the heat and set the bananas aside.
Step 6
In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to create a smooth and velvety sauce. Remove from heat once fully combined.
Step 7
Place the caramelized bananas on serving plates and drizzle them generously with the chocolate sauce.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy this indulgent treat!
