Yields: 2 servings Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 6 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 ripe banana, sliced into ½ inch rounds
- 6 Terra Delyssa Organic Pitted Deglet Noor Dates, halved lengthwise
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 generous scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream
- Terra Delyssa Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
- Flake salt, for sprinkling
Instructions:
- In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter until it begins to bubble gently.
- Add the sliced banana, halved Terra Delyssa Organic Pitted Deglet Noor Dates, and cinnamon to the skillet. Toss gently to ensure the bananas and dates are evenly coated in the buttery cinnamon mixture.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing the bananas to turn a beautiful golden brown and caramelize, and the dates to become soft, warm, and deeply caramelized. Stir and flip the bananas and dates frequently, especially the dates, to prevent any scorching.
- Divide the vanilla ice cream evenly between two serving bowls.
- Spoon the warm caramelized bananas and butter-fried dates generously over the ice cream in each bowl.
- Drizzle each serving generously with Terra Delyssa Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Finish each sundae with a pinch or two of flaky salt.
- Serve immediately and savor the incredible combination of flavors and textures!
