Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 1 cup of coconut cream, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it melts and is hot.
- Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and gently sauté them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the bananas and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, gently stirring to coat the bananas evenly. The sugar will melt and create a caramel-like sauce.
- Once the bananas are caramelized and tender, remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the coconut cream and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well blended and creamy.
- To serve, divide the caramelized bananas among four serving bowls.
- Top each serving with a generous dollop of the coconut cream mixture.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle any remaining caramel sauce from the skillet over the top of the coconut cream.
- Optionally, garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch.
- Enjoy your Neilson Caramelised Banana Coconut Cream as a delightful dessert or a sweet treat!
Tips
- Choose the Right Bananas: For the best flavor, use ripe bananas that are slightly speckled. They should be sweet and soft enough to caramelize beautifully.
- Control the Heat: Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the sugar. If it starts to darken too quickly, lower the heat to ensure a perfect caramelization.
- Whisk the Coconut Cream: For an extra fluffy texture, whisk the coconut cream vigorously to incorporate air, making it light and airy before serving.
- Add a Crunch: Enhance the dish with toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for a delightful crunch that contrasts with the creamy texture.
- Make it a Sundae: Turn this dessert into a sundae by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the caramelized bananas warm over the chilled coconut cream. The contrast in temperatures adds to the enjoyment!
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the coconut cream for a warm spice that complements the sweetness of the bananas.Enjoy crafting this delectable dessert that’s sure to impress!
