Warm Banana Bread Sundaes
A decadent dessert featuring pan fried banana bread slices topped with cool ice cream and caramel sauce.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about taking a classic treat and turning it into something even better. By pan frying slices of banana bread in a little butter, you get those crispy edges that taste wonderful with cold vanilla ice cream.
This is a fantastic way to use up any banana bread you have sitting on your counter. I love serving these for birthdays or casual weekend dinners because they feel fancy but come together in just a few minutes.
🧺 Ingredients
- 4 slices of banana bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups high quality vanilla bean ice cream
- 1 fresh banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- 2
Add the banana bread slices to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- 3
Place one warm slice of banana bread into each dessert bowl.
- 4
Top each slice with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and some fresh banana slices.
- 5
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with the toasted pecans before serving immediately.
💡 Tips
Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the bread so it gets a nice crust instead of soaking up too much butter. If you want a little extra flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to your caramel sauce. Keep leftovers separate so the bread stays crisp for the next time you want a treat.
