Ingredients

• 1 cup Raisins
• 3 tablespoons Dark rum
• 4 medium Bananas
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Chopped nuts or shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour the dark rum over them. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes to plump up while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it melts into the butter, creating a caramel-like sauce.

Step 4

Add the sliced bananas to the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, gently flipping them halfway through, until they're golden and caramelized. Remove the bananas from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the rum-soaked raisins and any remaining rum to the skillet. Stir gently and cook for about 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off slightly. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 6

To make the chocolate cream, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it begins to steam (do not let it boil). Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Step 7

To assemble, place two banana halves on a plate. Spoon some of the rum-soaked raisins over the bananas. Drizzle with the warm chocolate cream.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts or shredded coconut. For an extra touch, dust lightly with ground cinnamon.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
