CARAMELIZED BANANAS



Caramelized Bananas image

This snack or dessert is quick and easy and sure to woo any company or please any crowd and just make your mouth water on a night snuggled up watching t.v. It is an African dish that I learned in the 7th. grade and was a hit when I served it several years ago in my fathers restaurant. I like it because of the taste you get from such a quick prep time and cook time, also the presentation can be beautiful! So if you love caramel and bananas with whip topping then try it out. One thing I do advise is this... I take my bananas and butter each slice individually, after melting the butter and before starting to fry I use a brush and make sure and coat front and back very well and while cooking I add a bit more, you can judge when cooking but I like mine to be a bit more buttery so you can adjust to taste. I also use 2 bananas per person as it is very filling and rich. This recipe is very flexible as to fit your palate, I do hope you enjoy! :-)

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 bunch banana
16 ounces brown sugar
1 cup butter
8 ounces whipped cream

Steps:

  • Peel all bananas and after doing so split down the middle and then cut in half, optional to cut in half but you do need to split, it is easier on me to quarter them and makes a good presentation.
  • Place cut bananas aside and melt 1 stick of butter, set the other stick aside in case you need more when cooking, if you use a lot when dredging the bananas then you will need to melt before starting to fry.
  • Once butter is melted start warming your skillet on medium high, watch closely as you will only want to slightly brown when cooking so it wont take long.
  • While skillet is heating up please take your bananas and start buttering both sides of each slice very well. I use a brush to do so or you can dredge them through the butter if you wish but please keep in mind doing so will soak up more butter so please be careful if you do not wish them buttery.
  • After all slices are done add butter in the skillet (enough to coat the bottom well).
  • Then start placing slices in the skillet, when you have a skillet full take brown sugar and start adding, no measurement is needed as you just cover them.
  • After you coat a side with brown sugar on the first coat flip them over and coat the next side and let them sit for about one minute.
  • After the minute is up flip and coat again as doing so add brown sugar in the pan and let it cook along with the rest, it does not have to be a lot but I judge it by the way people like caramel, so please just try a little at first as this is very rich.
  • When bananas are golden and slightly brown down the center they are done.
  • Remove from skillet and place on plate.
  • Add whip cream to top and serve hot :-).
  • Then repeat until you finish.
  • Also try other fruits with it, I top mine with cold strawberries from time to time.
  • Enjoy!

EASY CARAMELIZED BANANAS



Easy Caramelized Bananas image

These are great for breakfast over pancakes, waffles, french toast, crepes, oatmeal, etc. Or serve with low fat ice cream and toasted macadamia nuts for dessert. You can use regular tub margarine or butter in place of the cooking spray. However, this will double the cooking time, and make for a crunchier stickier outside to your banana.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 -3 bananas
4 -6 tablespoons granulated sugar (or more)
cooking spray (regular or butter flavor)

Steps:

  • Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
  • Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
  • Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
  • Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula or fork to peek). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). Keep in mind these times will vary, depending on your stove.
  • Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
  • Transfer to a plate that has been coated with cooking spray (otherwise they may stick - they are ooey gooey and sticky!) and serve. Alternately, slide them right onto your ice cream or breakfast food.
  • Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.

Tips:

- To achieve perfectly caramelized bananas, use ripe but firm bananas. Overripe bananas will break down too easily, while unripe bananas will not caramelize properly. - Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to evenly distribute heat and prevent the bananas from burning. - Be patient when caramelizing the bananas. It takes time to achieve the desired golden brown color. Rushing the process will result in undercooked or burnt bananas. - If you are using a nonstick skillet, make sure to use a little bit of butter or oil to prevent the bananas from sticking. - Serve the caramelized bananas immediately or they will lose their crispiness. - For a richer flavor, use dark honey instead of regular honey. - If you don't have mascarpone cheese, you can substitute it with cream cheese or ricotta cheese. - To make the dish more refreshing, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a few drops of orange zest. - Garnish the dish with chopped nuts, fresh mint, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Caramelized Bananas with Honey Mascarpone and Mint is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
