Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe but firm bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into two pieces.
Set a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Stir in the brown sugar and let it dissolve in the butter, creating a smooth caramel sauce.
Carefully place the banana slices into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized, using a spatula to flip the bananas gently.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the dark rum. Tilt the pan slightly (away from you) to allow the alcohol to evaporate. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the caramelized bananas from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
In a separate small microwavable bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Stir in the heavy cream to maintain a glossy consistency.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramelized bananas.
Finish by sprinkling the chopped nuts on top. If desired, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
