Ingredients
- 4 bananas, ripe but not soft
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup cream
- pinch salt
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 12 raspberries or other berries, for garnish (optional) 
 
This novel combination of some very simple ingredients produces a delightful dessert.
 
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350°.  Do not peel bananas. Put them on a baking sheet or
    other oven-proof container and bake 20 minutes. Bananas should be soft and very dark when done.
  • While the bananas bake, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, bring water, salt and brown
    sugar to a boil. Add cream and cook 5 minutes.
  • Do not peel the baked bananas. Slice them
    lengthways, leaving the halves attached at the stem end and arrange on serving plates. Add a scoop

1

of ice cream to each plate and drizzle warm sauce over. Garnish, if you wish, with a few berries
or shavings of chocolate. Serve immediately.
