Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon banana liqueur (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or biscotti (for texture)
Instructions
- Begin by melting unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Once the mixture bubbles, add sliced bananas and cook for 3-4 minutes until caramelized. Stir in banana liqueur if using. Set aside.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and cinnamon to create whipped cream.
- Layer sliced bananas and caramel sauce in serving glasses or bowls. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or biscotti. Drizzle with remaining caramel sauce if desired. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top.
- Use gluten-free graham crackers or biscotti for a gluten-free version.
- Add a splash of rum or bourbon for an extra flavor dimension.
