Caramelized Bananas with Coconut Rum Cream

One bite of Caramelized Bananas with Coconut Rum Cream takes me straight back to the Caribbean Islands—the tropical sun, waves of the ocean clapping onto the the beaches, and a different pace of life. And in the dead of winter, on bitter cold, gray days, we need all the help we can get.

You’ll find this recipe similar to bananas foster, without all the flambéing. And it couldn’t be simpler.

You’ll only need a few basic ingredients, some really good coconut rum, and a couple of minutes to be transported back to lazy afternoons of flip flops and sandy toes. You can use regular unflavored rum, but the coconut rum is really what takes this over the edge.

Again, this is a quick recipe to whip up. And it’s seriously is worth every second of prep time. So grab some bananas and get cooking!

Enjoy!
