How to Make Bananas Tchoupitoulas
- In a small saucepan, combine 3 cups water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup honey, and 3-4 thin orange slices.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1 cup cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling sugar mixture. Continue whisking constantly.
- The sauce will continue to thicken as it simmers. Adjust the amount of cornstarch slurry if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the orange slices from the sauce.
- Add 3 ripe bananas, sliced, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional).
- Stir gently until the bananas are slightly softened and the sauce is well combined.
- Serve warm over ice cream, bread pudding, or enjoy it on its own!
