Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bananas
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut them into halves or thirds, depending on your serving preference. Set aside.
To make the caramel sauce, place the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Let the sugar melt and turn a golden amber color, stirring occasionally with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon. This process takes about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
Once the sugar is fully melted, reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter. Stir until combined and smooth. The mixture may bubble vigorously, so handle with caution.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. The sauce will bubble and steam, but keep stirring until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and sea salt to the caramel and mix well. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly.
To prepare the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to a chilled mixing bowl. Use a handheld or stand mixer to whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Assemble the dessert by placing the banana pieces on a serving plate. Drizzle warm caramel sauce generously over the bananas.
Top the bananas and caramel with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Serve immediately.
