When it comes to summer in the south, dessert isn’t forgotten! It simply cools down a bit – wink! Our family absolutely loves this delicious and easy dessert recipe and we love making it when we have friends or family in our home. Fried bananas and cream! Ever tried fried bananas? The mix of brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon and then hot bananas paired with cold vanilla bean ice cream? It’s addicting and is the perfect dessert recipe to enjoy during the summer months!

Here is what you will need to make this fried bananas and cream recipe:

• bananas (the amount depends on how many you need to feed)
• 8 tablespoons of butter (1 stick)
• brown sugar
• cinnamon
• vanilla bean ice cream

First, you want to start by melting your stick of butter in a pan over medium heat. Don’t let it burn, just get it melted.

While your butter melts, slice up our bananas. You can either slice them longways like we do or you can chop them into small slices.

Once your butter is melted, simply sprinkle a generous amount of brown sugar into your pan. There isn’t an exact amount, but you want it to create somewhat of a thicker mixture between the butter and sugar. I would perhaps try with 1/4 cup and then add more as you see fit.

Then add your sprinkle of cinnamon. Eyeball about 1-2 tablespoons.

Next, you will want to gently place your bananas in the pan.

Give them a bit of time to cook and allow the sugar to somewhat caramelize over medium heat. Then simply use tongs to flip them over to the other side. 

I promise you, the taste is going to be amazing!

Spoon your choice of vanilla ice cream into bowls.

Then spoon your bananas over your cream.

A delicious summer recipe that you will want to make over and over again! 

I hope you enjoy this fried bananas and cream recipe! Super easy and fool proof – I promise! Do you have a favorite dessert recipe that your family loves making during the summer months?
