Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bananas
• 200 grams Granulated Sugar
• 100 ml Water
• 15 grams Unsalted Butter
• 500 ml Vegetable Oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (optional)
• 500 ml Ice Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut each one into thirds. Set them aside on a cutting board or plate.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns into a golden caramel. This process will take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Once the caramel is golden, add the unsalted butter and stir carefully until fully incorporated. Remove the pan from heat to prevent overcooking the caramel.

Step 4

In a deep frying pan or wide saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (356°F). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil is properly heated.

Step 5

While the oil is heating, set up a bowl of ice water near your working area. This will be used for quick cooling of the caramel-coated bananas.

Step 6

Carefully dip each banana piece into the hot caramel, turning to coat it fully, and then immediately transfer the caramelized banana into the hot oil. Fry for about 10-15 seconds or until the caramel hardens and turns slightly crisp.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, remove the bananas from the oil and immediately drop them into the ice water to cool and set the toffee coating. This process gives the coating a crackly texture.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle the toffee bananas with sesame seeds as they cool, for added crunch and flavor.

Step 9

Serve the toffee bananas warm on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
