Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large Ripe Bananas
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans
  • 4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream

Instructions
 

  • Peel the ripe bananas and slice them diagonally into thick 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • In a large cast iron skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, cooking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble slightly.
  • Add the banana slices to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, allowing them to soften and caramelize slightly in the butter syrup.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until a rich caramel sauce forms around the bananas.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the warm, sticky bananas.
  • Top the warm skillet immediately with scoops of vanilla ice cream and serve directly from the pan.
