Ingredients for Bananas And Pralines

- Vanilla Ice Cream
How to Make Bananas And Pralines
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in 1/2 cup pecan halves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 3 ripe bananas, sliced lengthwise. Spoon the sauce over the bananas, gently turning to coat, until softened (about 4-5 minutes).
- Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Garnish with extra pecans if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
