Banana Bread Sundae

Warm, pan fried banana bread is layered with chilled vanilla bean ice cream and served alongside fresh banana slices. And to finish it's all drizzled with rich caramel sauce and crunchy toasted pecan bits. It's pure decadence in every bite!

Ingredients

  • 5 (3/4-inch slices) banana bread (day or two old)

  • Transfer banana bread slices to shallow bowls and place banana slices on the side.
  • Top each warm piece of pan fried banana bread with one scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Serve immediately.
