Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until dissolved, creating a smooth caramel sauce.
Carefully place the banana halves, cut side down, into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly caramelized, then gently flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the rum, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lime juice to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the bananas evenly in the sauce.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly and intensify the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and divide the bananas among four dessert plates.
Spoon the warm rum-caramel sauce over the bananas.
Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast of warm and cold.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Bananas Caribbean!
