Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bananas
- 200 grams Granulated Sugar
- 100 ml Water
- 15 grams Unsalted Butter
- 500 ml Vegetable Oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (optional)
- 500 ml Ice Water
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each one into thirds. Set them aside on a cutting board or plate.
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns into a golden caramel. This process will take about 8-10 minutes.
Once the caramel is golden, add the unsalted butter and stir carefully until fully incorporated. Remove the pan from heat to prevent overcooking the caramel.
In a deep frying pan or wide saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (356°F). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil is properly heated.
While the oil is heating, set up a bowl of ice water near your working area. This will be used for quick cooling of the caramel-coated bananas.
Carefully dip each banana piece into the hot caramel, turning to coat it fully, and then immediately transfer the caramelized banana into the hot oil. Fry for about 10-15 seconds or until the caramel hardens and turns slightly crisp.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the bananas from the oil and immediately drop them into the ice water to cool and set the toffee coating. This process gives the coating a crackly texture.
Optional: Sprinkle the toffee bananas with sesame seeds as they cool, for added crunch and flavor.
Serve the toffee bananas warm on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
