Here is our version of a classic American banana split, inspired by our recent trip to LA.
Butterscotch sauce
½ cup | Sour cream |
½ cup | Brown sugar |
100 g | Butter |
Bananas
5 | Bananas, ripe |
½ Tbsp | Butter |
3 Tbsp | Brown sugar |
2 Tbsp | Cream |
1 pinch | Ground cinnamon |
To serve
5 servings | Ice cream (Main) |
1 handful | Almonds, shaved, or other nut of your choice |
1 bag | Popcorn, caramel, store bought |
Directions
- Heat together all the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir until everything is combined. This can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving.
- Halve the bananas lengthwise. Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sugar and cream and leave to melt for 1 minute. Lay the banana pieces on top, cut side up, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute. Turn bananas carefully and cook for another minute, basting with the pan sauce.
- To serve, place two banana halves in each dish, with scoops of icecream in between. Spoon over the butterscotch sauce and top with shaved almonds or other nuts and popcorn.
