Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Slice the bananas into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Measure out the sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and cereal.
Cooking the Bananas Foster
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling.
- Add the brown sugar to the skillet. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble.
- Carefully add the sliced bananas into the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to caramelize and are nicely coated in the sauce.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and banana liqueur if using.
Assembling the Dish
- In a separate bowl, mix the Cinnamon Toast Crunch with the cinnamon for the crunchy topping.
- To serve, spoon the caramelized bananas over a generous scoop of ice cream and drizzle the sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle the Cinnamon Toast Crunch crumble over the dessert.
Notes
If you have leftovers, store the bananas and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and keep the cereal separate to maintain its crunch. Reheat gently if necessary.
