Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
- 4 sprigs mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter starts to foam, add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is bubbly, about 2 minutes.
Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook for about 2 minutes on one side, then gently flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes until caramelized. Remove the bananas from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the pineapple chunks and cook them for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and caramelize slightly.
Reduce the heat to low, then carefully add the dark rum to the skillet. Let it cook for 1–2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to burn off while the flavors meld together.
Add the shredded coconut to the skillet and toss it with the pineapple and rum mixture until evenly coated.
To serve, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl or on a dessert plate. Arrange caramelized bananas and rum-infused pineapple mixture around the ice cream.
Sprinkle the dessert with toasted coconut flakes for extra crunch if desired, and garnish with a fresh sprig of mint for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical bliss of your Pineapple Coconut Banana Rum Delight!
