directions

  • Cut bananas in half crosswise, then cut each piece in half lengthwise. Set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the corn syrup and the sugar.
  • Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally and washing down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush, until the mixture turns golden, about 2 minutes. Don't let it darken. It's ok if the butter separates.
  • Immediately remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the bananas in the pan, cut sides up.
  • Return the skillet to medium high heat and cook until the undersides of the bananas begin to brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Check them by lifting with a for. They won't all begin to color at the same time, so keep an eye out for hot spots in the skillet.
  • Once a slice begins to brown, use the fork to flip it. Cook on the second side for a few seconds. To prevent them from turning mushy, it's better to slightly undercook the bananas.
  • Use a fork to transfer 2 banana slices, rounded sides up, to each of 6 dessert plates or shallow bowls.
  • When the last slice is done, stir the heavy cream into the skillet.
  • Let it boil, stirring with the fork or a whisk to scrape up all the pan drippings, until the cream is golden, about 1 minute.
  • Immediately strain the caramel into a small bowl.
  • Scoop the ice cream between the warm bananas and drizzle the caramel sauce over the ice cream (about 1 generous tablespoon per serving).
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream, and sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Serve.
