Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 4 tablespoons Chocolate sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or peanuts)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 2 whole Maraschino cherries
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until it melts into the butter, forming a caramel-like sauce.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Place the banana halves in the skillet, cut side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are caramelized and slightly softened. Flip the bananas gently and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the bananas cool slightly.
Place two banana halves in each serving dish, arranging them in a banana split shape.
Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream between the bananas in each dish.
Drizzle the warm caramel sauce from the skillet over the ice cream and bananas.
Top with chocolate sauce, followed by a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Add a generous dollop of whipped cream and crown each dessert with a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately while the bananas are warm and the ice cream is cold for a delightful hot-and-cold experience.
