How to Make Caramelized Banana Sundaes
- Peel and slice 2 ripe bananas into 1/4-inch diagonal slices.
- Place banana slices in a shallow dish and toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of brown sugar in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute, or until butter is melted.
- Add the banana slices to the skillet and toss to coat with the butter and brown sugar mixture.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bananas are nicely caramelized and glazed. Remove from heat.
- In a microwave-safe measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of half-and-half.
- Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate is melted and smooth (total time may vary).
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of chocolate extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water (or 2 tablespoons of Kahlua).
- Scoop 2 cups of vanilla ice cream (or frozen yogurt) into dessert bowls.
- Top with the warm caramelized bananas, spooning any remaining brown sugar glaze over the ice cream.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of toasted, chopped walnuts.
- Garnish each sundae with a maraschino cherry.
