Ingredients

• 4 ripe bananas
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons dark rum
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until dissolved, creating a smooth caramel sauce.

Step 4

Carefully place the banana halves, cut side down, into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly caramelized, then gently flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, then add the rum, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lime juice to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the bananas evenly in the sauce.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly and intensify the flavors.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and divide the bananas among four dessert plates.

Step 8

Spoon the warm rum-caramel sauce over the bananas.

Step 9

Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast of warm and cold.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Bananas Caribbean!
