Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 4 maraschino cherries
Instructions
Prepare the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the caramel sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
Toast the pecans: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
Assemble each sundae: Place one scoop of vanilla ice cream in a dessert bowl or underlaying dish.
Arrange banana slices around the ice cream. Drizzle warm caramel sauce generously over the ice cream and bananas.
Sprinkle toasted pecans evenly over the top. Repeat for all servings.
Top each sundae with a dollop of whipped cream and finish with a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
