Fried Bananas in Caramel with Ice Cream

Fried bananas are a truly original and unique dish. The finished bananas have a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture, beautifully complemented by the crunchy caramel and the creamy flavor of ice cream. For this recipe, I recommend using slightly underripe bananas. Fried bananas are one of those things you'll either love or not care for at all. If you've never tried them before, I'd suggest starting with just a few slices to see if this dish is for you. Both my husband and I gave it a solid five stars, even though we'd never had anything like it before. I highly recommend serving the bananas warm and with ice cream — it makes all the difference.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 bananas (slightly underripe)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp butter
• ice cream for serving
