Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams dark brown sugar
- 150 milliliters double cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 500 milliliters ready-to-serve custard
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 30 grams chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into halves across the width, creating four pieces per banana.
Step 2
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the dark brown sugar and cook until the mixture forms a smooth caramel sauce, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Gently add the banana pieces to the pan, ensuring they are coated in the caramel sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bananas are softened and caramelized.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and carefully pour the double cream into the pan. Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, then stir gently to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm through, taking care not to mash the bananas.
Step 5
While the bananas are caramelizing, gently heat the custard in a saucepan or microwave until warm. Stir occasionally to avoid a skin forming.
Step 6
To serve, spoon the warm custard into bowls and top with the sticky toffee bananas. Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce from the pan over the bananas and custard.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch and texture.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent dessert!
