  • 3 ripe bananas, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

How to Make Bananas With Vanilla Rum Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 1/4 cup of packed light brown sugar to the melted butter.
  3. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely melted and forms a smooth caramel sauce.
  4. Add 3 ripe bananas, halved lengthwise, to the skillet.
  5. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bananas are tender and caramelized.
  6. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 pint of vanilla ice cream with 2 tablespoons of dark rum (or vanilla extract).
  7. Carefully remove the caramelized bananas from the skillet, reserving the brown sugar sauce in the skillet.
  8. Transfer the bananas to serving dishes or bowls.
  9. Spoon the warm brown sugar sauce generously over the bananas.
  10. Serve immediately with a scoop of the vanilla rum ice cream alongside.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
