A delightful twist on the classic Bananas Foster, featuring a rich caramel sauce and a hint of nutty crunch.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; keep the heat moderate.
Add the brown sugar, rum, and cinnamon to the skillet, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Stir continuously to prevent the sugar from burning.
Slice the bananas lengthwise and add them to the skillet, cooking until they are warmed through and coated in the sauce.
Handle the bananas gently to keep them intact.
Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the bananas in the skillet.
Toast the pecans beforehand for enhanced flavor.
Serve the caramelized bananas and sauce over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm bananas and cold ice cream.
