Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves into a smooth, glossy mixture.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously to create a creamy caramel base.
Reduce the heat to low and gently fold in the banana slices, ensuring they are coated in the caramel sauce.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bananas soften slightly but still hold their shape.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool for 2-3 minutes. It will thicken slightly upon standing.
Serve the warm banana sauce generously over scoops of vanilla ice cream or your favorite dessert. Enjoy!
