Preparation
Step 1
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.
Notes:
We had semi-sweet Ghirardelli, so that’s what we used as opposed to bittersweet chocolate. Either would work great, I think.
Wouldn’t change a thing about this one otherwise. Delicious as-is!
