Ingredients

• 4 ripe but firm bananas
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons dark rum
• 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into two pieces.

Step 2

Set a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 3

Stir in the brown sugar and let it dissolve in the butter, creating a smooth caramel sauce.

Step 4

Carefully place the banana slices into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized, using a spatula to flip the bananas gently.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the dark rum. Tilt the pan slightly (away from you) to allow the alcohol to evaporate. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the caramelized bananas from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 7

In a separate small microwavable bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Stir in the heavy cream to maintain a glossy consistency.

Step 8

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramelized bananas.

Step 9

Finish by sprinkling the chopped nuts on top. If desired, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
