Description

Toffee & sesame bananas are a delightful dessert featuring caramelized bananas with a rich toffee sauce infused with toasted sesame seeds, served warm with creamy vanilla ice cream. This indulgent treat combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the buttery, nutty flavors of the toffee and sesame, creating a perfect balance of textures and tastes.

Ingredients

Scale

Bananas

  • 6 large bananas, peeled and quartered
  • 2 tbsp light muscovado sugar (for tossing)

Toffee Sauce

  • 6 tbsp light muscovado sugar (remaining from the total 8 tbsp)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 200ml double cream
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

To Serve

  • Good-quality vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bananas: Toss the quartered bananas in 2 tablespoons of light muscovado sugar until evenly coated. This helps caramelize the bananas during cooking.
  2. Cook Bananas: Heat a griddle pan over medium heat. Place the bananas in batches on the griddle and cook until they become sticky and develop clear griddle marks, indicating caramelization. Keep the cooked bananas warm in a low oven.
  3. Make Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan over gentle heat, combine the remaining 6 tablespoons of light muscovado sugar, butter, and double cream. Stir continuously until the sugar has completely melted and the sauce is smooth and thickened slightly.
  4. Add Sesame Seeds: Stir the toasted sesame seeds into the toffee sauce to incorporate their nutty flavor.
  5. Serve: In 8 individual serving dishes, place a few pieces of the cooked bananas, spoon over the warm toffee and sesame sauce, then top each with a scoop of good-quality vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch to the sauce.
  • The toffee sauce can be prepared up to a day in advance and gently reheated before serving.
  • Keep cooked bananas warm in a low oven to maintain their texture and temperature before serving.
  • This dessert is best served warm to enjoy the contrast between hot bananas and cold ice cream.
