How to Make Cheater's Bananas Foster

  1. Slice one ripe banana into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and stir constantly until melted and bubbly.
  3. Add the sliced bananas to the pan and gently stir to coat them evenly in the brown sugar butter mixture.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bananas are softened and slightly caramelized.
  5. While the bananas cook, scoop 2 servings of vanilla ice cream into bowls.
  6. Pour the warm banana mixture over the ice cream. Garnish with whipped cream (optional) and serve immediately.
