Banana Split Dessert recipe

Ingredients:

6 bananas.
6 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
12 oz of butter.
8 oz of dark chocolate.
3 oz of dark brown sugar.
3 oz of unsalted butter.
1 tablespoon of water.

Preparation Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the butter in a shallow pan to melt and begin to foam.

While the butter is melting, peel the bananas and push your finger down the centre of each, forcing it into three skinny parts.

Place the pieces of banana into the hot butter and toss so until each piece is coated.

Sprinkle the bananas with dark brown sugar; then move to the oven to bake for until golden and caramelized (about 10 minutes).

While the bananas are baking, gently melt the chocolate in a pan with one tablespoon of water.

As soon as it turns to liquid, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter. Do not allow to boil, but heat gently.

When the bananas are ready, place a large rounded scoop of vanilla ice cream on each plate.

Criss-cross the three pieces of banana per person over the ice cream; then drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top and serve.
