Ingredients for Bananas And Pralines

  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (or orange juice for a non-alcoholic version)
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • Vanilla Ice Cream

How to Make Bananas And Pralines

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar until smooth and melted.
  3. Carefully add 1/4 cup bourbon (or substitute with orange juice for a non-alcoholic version). Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup pecan halves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add 3 ripe bananas, sliced lengthwise. Spoon the sauce over the bananas, gently turning to coat, until softened (about 4-5 minutes).
  6. Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Garnish with extra pecans if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
