Caramel Banana Sundaes

I have had this recipe SO long, and every time I look through my collection, I think "I really should make this, I know I would love it!" But, alas, I never have whipping cream. So when I bought cream to make risotto, I resolved to also make this. Now, I may just have to buy stock in cream, cause this is SOOOO good!!

I've only had bananas foster once, but if I recall correctly, this tastes just like it. The difference with this recipe is that you don't need to worry about setting anything on fire.

Start by combining the sugar, butter and cream in a skillet.



Add the vanilla, rum extract and the cinnamon.



Turn the heat to medium and bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.



Cook for two minutes and then remove from the heat momentarily.

Add the bananas,



stir until they're coated, and then return to the heat and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring ocassionally.



Let cool just a few minutes, then serve warm over ice cream.

Because the bananas are coated in sauce, the leftovers can easily be refrigerated. The bananas will get a little soft, but it will still taste great! (as if you'll have leftovers...)
