Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until dissolved, creating a caramel-like sauce.
Carefully add the bananas to the skillet, cut side down, and cook for 2 minutes until they are caramelized. Flip them gently and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour the dark rum over the bananas and let it simmer for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off. Turn off the heat and set the bananas aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to create a smooth and velvety sauce. Remove from heat once fully combined.
Place the caramelized bananas on serving plates and drizzle them generously with the chocolate sauce.
If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy this indulgent treat!
