How to Make Banana Caramel Milkshake

  1. **Make the Caramel Sauce:**
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons water.
  3. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally but without stirring, until the mixture turns a deep amber caramel color (about 6-8 minutes). Watch carefully as it can burn quickly!
  4. Slowly pour in 1 cup heavy cream while whisking constantly. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
  5. Continue whisking for 1 minute to ensure the caramel is fully dissolved.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional).
  7. Let the caramel sauce cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
  8. **Make the Milkshake:**
  9. Combine 1/2 cup cooled caramel sauce, 1 frozen ripe banana, 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream in a blender.
  10. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  11. Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream, a drizzle of extra caramel sauce, a maraschino cherry, and a few banana chips.
