Caribbean Banana Split Recipe

Caribbean Banana Split Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 bananas, cut in half crosswise then lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  1. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bananas in butter until they are browned and begin to soften, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; stir in rum, nutmeg and cinnamon. Use a long match or lighter to carefully ignite the liquid in the pan. Allow to burn for 15 to 30 seconds; if necessary, extinguish by placing lid on pan.
  2. Continue to cook until sauce has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in lime juice; cook for 1 additional minute.
  3. Divide ice cream between 4 serving bowls. Top each with the warm bananas and rum sauce mixture. Drizzle each sundae with chocolate sauce, and top with whipped cream.
