Sweet, warm bananas, vanilla ice-cream and warm home-made caramel sauce……..Finger-licking good! I just love caramel, it’s one of my secret sins. I’m not a huge fan of desserts but anything with caramel I will take! Making caramel sauce yourself is kind of difficult because you have to be really patient but it is worth the effort!
Ingredients for 2 pers.:
- 2 bananas
- 200 gr sugar
- 125 ml whip cream
- vanilla ice-cream
- fresh mint
How to prepare it:
Use a bit of butter to grease the oven dish. Cut the bananas in half and cut both sides in half again, but now over the length.
Put the bananas in the oven dish and sprinkle a bit of honey on top. Put the dish in the grill for 15 minutes.
Put a small sauce pan on the stove. Add the sugar. Now you have got to be very patient. Honestly, not my best side but for this recipe it is extremely important. Melt the sugar without stirring, you will see that the sugar will slowly melt and will color during the process. Do not touch the pan until all the sugar has melted. Take the pan of the stove. Now you can put another small pan on the stove to heat up the whip cream. This will only cost a couple of minutes. Once the cream is hot, put the stove with the caramel back on the stove and gently start to pour the whip cream with the caramel. The caramel will react heavily on this, but you can start to stir immediately. Keep stirring whilst adding the cream. You should be able to get out all the lumps but if not, not to worry just use a sieve to filter them out.
Take the bananas out of the oven once they are soft and warm. Put them on a plate. Add a bit of ice cream. Pour the hot caramel on top and finish with a leave of mint.
Serve it quickly as the ice will melt rapidly.
