Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Baby bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 cup Dulce de leche
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped roasted pecans
- 1 scoop per serving Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
Peel the baby bananas and set them aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar and stir until the mixture forms a smooth caramel-like sauce, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon into the skillet and stir to combine.
Place the baby bananas into the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are warmed through and lightly caramelized.
Gently drizzle the lime juice over the bananas and remove the skillet from the heat.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the dulce de leche and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and pourable, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Arrange the warm baby bananas on serving plates and drizzle generously with the dulce de leche sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped roasted pecans over the bananas for added crunch.
Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
