Bananas in Caramel Sauce

"A delicious, fast dessert. Impressive served when the sauce is still bubbling! Serve with coconut ice cream, if desired."

Original recipe makes 4 servings

    1/2 cup butter

    1 cup superfine sugar

    1 1/4 cups heavy cream

    4 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise

Directions

    Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in sugar and cook, stirring, until sugar is melted and light brown. Slowly stir in the cream (mixture will bubble up).
    Let mixture boil 1 minute, then reduce heat to low. Place the bananas in the pan and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
