Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams dark brown sugar
- 150 milliliters double cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 500 milliliters ready-to-serve custard
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 30 grams chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into halves across the width, creating four pieces per banana.
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the dark brown sugar and cook until the mixture forms a smooth caramel sauce, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently add the banana pieces to the pan, ensuring they are coated in the caramel sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bananas are softened and caramelized.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully pour the double cream into the pan. Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, then stir gently to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm through, taking care not to mash the bananas.
While the bananas are caramelizing, gently heat the custard in a saucepan or microwave until warm. Stir occasionally to avoid a skin forming.
To serve, spoon the warm custard into bowls and top with the sticky toffee bananas. Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce from the pan over the bananas and custard.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent dessert!
