Method
Preparation
Slice the Bananas
Peel and slice the bananas into approximately 1/2 inch thick pieces. Set aside.
Sauce Preparation
Melt Butter and Combine
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is bubbly and the sugar has dissolved.
Add Bananas
Carefully add the sliced bananas to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bananas are warmed through.
Finish the Sauce
Once the flames have died down, stir in the vanilla extract. Let the sauce simmer for another minute to blend the flavors.
Serving
Plate the Dessert
Scoop 2 servings of vanilla ice cream into individual bowls. Spoon the warm banana foster sauce over the ice cream while it's still warm.
Serve Immediately
Serve the banana foster immediately while it's warm, allowing the ice cream to melt slightly into the sauce.
