Banana Caramel Sauce image

This luscious sauce made of heavy cream, bananas, white chocolate and sugar is meant to be served with our banana-walnut bread pudding, but it's equally delicious drizzled over Sunday morning French toast.

Time 20m

Yield About 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 bananas, cut into 1/4-inch dice
18 ounces finely chopped white chocolate

Steps:

Combine sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy pan and set over medium heat. When sugar begins to brown, remove from the heat and allow to reach a deep, nutty brown. Carefully pour in cream (it will sputter). Let the mixture cool slightly and return to the heat. Add the bananas. Stir until sugar melts again and the mixture is smooth (except for the bananas).
Place the chocolate in a large bowl, pour the hot cream mixture over it and stir until the chocolate melts. Serve warm.
