I'm going to be forced to be concise today. As I type this, my computer is moving at a snail's pace and making funny noises; I'm just hoping to complete this post before it crashes completely. It's just one of many things going on lately. This past month has been a full one - filled with good things like birthdays, family gatherings, school activities, and weddings, as well as some not-so-great things like dealing with home maintenance issues (let's just say Roto Rooter was involved).
With so much going on, this dessert was a belated Father's Day treat for my husband. The little one (he might be 9 now but I'll still be calling him my "little one" for a while) helped me make this caramelized banana split and it was a hit with my banana-dessert-loving husband.
It's really simple to make by slicing up a slightly under-ripe banana, coating the pieces in some brown sugar and caramelizing them in a little bit of butter. Top it with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and toasted almond slices. And I don't know about you but I can't envision anything called "banana split" without ice cream so I added a scoop of neapolitan ice cream alongside.
It's a fun, tasty, as well as quick-and-easy dessert to whip up for anyone who love bananas.
