Crites Family Stuff

Description

This was a dessert we enjoyed at a Mexican restaurant in Arizona.

Ingredients for 4 servings

• 4 bananas
• 3 tbsp butter
• Cinnamon sugar
• Vanilla icecream
• Caramel topping
• Whipped and sweetened cream
• Toasted flaked coconut

Steps

1. Over low heat, melt 1 tbsp butter in a large frying pan. Peel 1 banana and cut lengthwise in half, and cut these in the middle to make 4 pieces. Place in the pan and generously sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Flip the buttered banana over so that the sugar side can sauté for 10-15 seconds, melting and caramelizing the sugar. Sprinkle the other side and turn the banana pieces again, so that all sides are coated and sautéd. Add more butter as needed to avoid scorching or sticking.
2. Remove bananas and arrange on a single serving plate . Add a large scoop of vanilla ice-cream Drizzle with warmed caramel topping. Add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Repeat for each banana. Serve.
3. You can do more than one banana at a time, just add more butter to the pan.
