Ingredients
- 50 gram sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 firm bananas in the skins, halved lengthways
- 1 heaped tsp butter
- 1 tablespoon rum
- 1/4 cup cream
- whipped cream or icecream and chopped nuts, to serve (optional)
Method
- 1Place the sugar and water in a frying pan and simmer, stirring from time to time, until caramel-coloured.
- 2Remove from the heat and place the bananas cut-side down in the mixture, return the pan to a gentle heat, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- 3Add the butter, swirling the pan gently, then the rum. Cook for a further minute, then add the cream and simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the bananas are cooked.
- 4Remove the bananas to plates and pour the sauce over the top. Add icecream or whipped cream and nuts, if desired.
Notes
- Try additional toppings such as shards of praline, grated dark chocolate or perhaps a drizzle of chocolate sauce. - You can add more rum according to taste – or omit it completely, if you prefer.
