How to Make Caramelized Bananas In Pine Nut Cookie Bowls
- **Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).** Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- **Make the cookie dough:** In a food processor, finely grind 1 cup of pine nuts, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour until a fine meal forms.
- **Combine wet ingredients:** Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 2 large egg whites, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- **Chill the dough:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- **Shape the cookies:** Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter or template, evenly spread approximately 1 tablespoon of dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- **Bake:** Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid overbaking.
- **Shape the bowls:** Quickly remove the cookies from the baking sheet and gently drape each one over an inverted custard cup or small bowl to cool and form a bowl shape.
- **Caramelize the bananas:** In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 3 ripe bananas, sliced, and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- **Add spices and sweetness:** Stir in 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
- **Add optional alcohol and liquid:** Add 1 tablespoon of dark rum (optional) and 1 tablespoon of milk. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
- **Assemble the dessert:** Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream into each cooled pine nut cookie bowl. Top with the caramelized bananas.
- **Serve immediately:** Enjoy this delightful dessert!
