Ingredients

Scale

Caramelized Bananas

  • 2 ripe but firm bananas, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Beverage

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled (or 2 shots of espresso)
  • 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy), chilled
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Ice cubes

Optional Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra caramel sauce
  • A banana slice for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter and prepare caramel sauce: In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the brown sugar dissolves and the mixture forms a smooth, syrupy caramel sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Caramelize the banana slices: Carefully add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and caramelized. Be gentle to avoid breaking the slices. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce around the inside of the glass for extra sweetness and flavor.
  4. Assemble the latte: Place some caramelized banana slices at the bottom of the glass on top of the ice. Gently pour the cooled strong brewed coffee or espresso over the ice and bananas.
  5. Add chilled milk: Slowly pour the chilled milk over the coffee to create a beautiful layered effect.
  6. Mix the latte: Use a long spoon or straw to gently stir the latte, combining the coffee, milk, caramel sauce, and banana flavors evenly.
  7. Garnish and serve: Optionally, top the latte with whipped cream, an extra drizzle of caramel sauce, and a slice of caramelized banana for a visually appealing and delicious finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use firm bananas to ensure slices hold their shape during caramelization.
  • For a vegan or dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk.
  • You can make your own caramel sauce at home or use store-bought for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of caramel sauce and brown sugar to your preferred sweetness level.
  • This drink is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the texture of the caramelized bananas and the integrity of the iced latte.
