Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Peel and slice each banana into thick diagonal slices, roughly 1/2 inch wide. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the pecan halves and toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Remove pecans and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, letting it melt. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes until it forms a thick caramel-like consistency.
Lower the heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Be careful, as the mixture may bubble when the cream is added.
Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt. Fold in the banana slices, coating them gently in the caramel sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bananas are heated through but still hold their shape.
Return the toasted pecans to the skillet, stirring gently to combine everything in the sauce.
Remove from heat. Scoop vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or plates, then spoon the warm banana-butter-pecan mixture over the top.
Finish each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of pecans if desired. Serve immediately while the magic of warm and cold contrasts!
