Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 bananas, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pint plus 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup shaved semisweet or milk chocolate

Steps:

  • Heat sugar in a large heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium-high heat. Let stand until edge of sugar starts to melt and turn golden. Carefully swirl pan to incorporate all of the sugar. Continue cooking until sugar is a golden-brown caramel, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low, and stir in butter. Add bananas, carefully roll in caramel, and cook, turning bananas occasionally until just soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove bananas from caramel, and place in serving dishes. Add 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream to caramel sauce, and stir until smooth and creamy. Scoop remaining ice cream over bananas, pour caramel over ice cream, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

I would have liked more ice cream in mine, but otherwise it was a good recipe.

The bananas were a bit underripe and the caramel was a bit too thick, but overall it was a good recipe.

I love how customizable this recipe is. I added some chopped nuts and chocolate chips to mine and it was delicious.

This was a great recipe! I used chocolate ice cream and it was amazing. The bananas were caramelized perfectly and the ice cream was the perfect complement.

I'm not a huge fan of bananas, but this recipe changed my mind. The caramelized bananas were so sweet and flavorful, and the ice cream and whipped cream made it the perfect dessert.
