How to Make Baked Bananas With Cream Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Slice 4 ripe bananas in half lengthwise and gently brown them in the melted butter for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly caramelized.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of rum (optional) until smooth and creamy.
  4. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. Layer the browned banana halves in the dish.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bananas.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup heavy cream over the top.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the topping is lightly golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally served over pound cake or shortbread cookies!
