WARM BANANAS KAHLUA

Steps:

• Caramelize sugars in a hot, dry sauté pan, being careful not to burn the sugar. Add sliced bananas, Kahlua, and butter. Remove pan from burner (butter and Kahlua should not cook). This is excellent served directly, or over ice cream. Editor's Extra: An ounce is 1/8 cup or 1 1/2 tablespoons. Dry sugar will liquify and turn brown-carmelize-when heated quickly in a skillet. Fun Fact: Bananas do not grow on trees! They grow on tropical plants that have no trunk. Bananas are really gigantic herbs that spring from underground stems. What looks like a trunk is a false stem formed by tightly wrapped leaf sheaths. Their stalks grow to 25 feet in height making them the largest plant on earth without a woody stem.

CARAMELIZED BANANA SUNDAES

Steps:

• Peel and slice the bananas into 1/4 inch diagonal slices. Place cut bananas in a shallow dish and toss with lemon juice.
• Melt the butter and brown sugar in a heavy skillet and cook on medium high heat for one minute or until butter is melted. Stir in the bananas tossing to coat. When bananas are nicely glazed remove from heat.
• Place the chocolate chips and half-and-half in a microwave safe measuring cup. Microwave for 20 seconds, stir and microwave again for 10 to 20 seconds if needed. Stir until smooth. Add cinnamon Kahlua or Kahlua substitute.
• Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in an ice cream dish, top with the warm bananas spooning any of the brown sugar glaze over each individual serving. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with toasted chopped walnuts. Garnish each with a maraschino cherries.

KAHLUA BANANA BREAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a standard 9X5 inch loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. Set aside. Place the granulated sugar and softened butter in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high to cream, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then scrape the bowl and mix in the bananas and eggs. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Then scrape the bowl again and mix in the shredded coconut. Scoop the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted deep into the center comes out clean. Allow the banana bread loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then flip it out onto a cooling rack set over a piece of wax paper. While the loaf is cooling in the pan, whisk the powdered sugar and Kahlua together until very smooth. Once you've flipped the loaf out of the pan, poke holes in the the top of the loaf with a wooden skewer to let the Kahlua glaze seep down inside. Then pour the glaze over the top of the loaf. You can use the wax paper to pour the drippings back over the loaf for an extra glaze coating, if you like. Allow the glaze to dry before cutting.
