Ingredients

Method

1.Place the sugar and water in a frying pan and simmer, stirring from time to time, until caramel-coloured.
2.Remove 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.
3.Add 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.
4.Remove the bananas to plates and pour the sauce over the top. Add icecream or whipped cream and nuts, if desired.
  • 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.
