How to Make Caramelized Banana Splits With Hot Chocolate Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 4 peeled and halved bananas in a single layer and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Cook bananas, gently turning once and shaking the skillet occasionally, until the sugar is caramelized and the bananas are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully divide the caramelized bananas among 4 dessert bowls, leaving any remaining caramel in the skillet.
- Add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low. Add 2 ounces of chopped bittersweet chocolate and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Top each banana split with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle generously with the hot chocolate sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) and serve immediately.
