Classic Banana Foster
A warm and gooey dessert featuring caramelized bananas in a brown sugar-cinnamon sauce, topped with vanilla ice cream for the perfect sweet finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large bananas, sliced diagonally
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vanilla ice cream, for topping
Instructions
- Set a skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for a minute or two.
- Melt the butter in the skillet, then stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. Let it bubble gently.
- Give the sauce a good stir so it’s smooth and golden before adding bananas.
- Add banana slices gently into the sauce and spoon sauce over them to coat evenly.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes until bananas are soft but not mushy and sauce thickens slightly.
- Turn off heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Serve warm bananas and sauce over ice cream and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use just-ripe bananas to avoid mushiness.
- Keep heat at medium to prevent burning the sugar.
- Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet over low heat.
