Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 firm-ripe bananas, sliced diagonally 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (no more than 60% cacao if marked), finely chopped
1 pint cinnamon or vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted and cooled

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, then add bananas in 1 layer and sprinkle with brown sugar. Increase heat to medium-high and cook bananas, gently turning once and shaking skillet occasionally, until sugar is caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide bananas among 4 bowls, leaving any remaining caramel in skillet.
  • Add cream to skillet and boil over medium heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. Add chocolate with a pinch of salt and whisk until melted.
  • Top bananas with scoops of ice cream, then drizzle with some of chocolate sauce and sprinkle with nuts. (There will be extra sauce.)
