Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raisins
- 3 tablespoons Dark rum
- 4 medium Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Chopped nuts or shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour the dark rum over them. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes to plump up while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it melts into the butter, creating a caramel-like sauce.
Add the sliced bananas to the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, gently flipping them halfway through, until they're golden and caramelized. Remove the bananas from the skillet and set aside.
Add the rum-soaked raisins and any remaining rum to the skillet. Stir gently and cook for about 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off slightly. Turn off the heat and set aside.
To make the chocolate cream, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it begins to steam (do not let it boil). Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
To assemble, place two banana halves on a plate. Spoon some of the rum-soaked raisins over the bananas. Drizzle with the warm chocolate cream.
Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts or shredded coconut. For an extra touch, dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
