Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 ounce rum or bourbon
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 ounce of rum or bourbon.
- Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. This will help them caramelize evenly.
- In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the sliced bananas to the skillet.
- Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the bananas. Stir gently to coat the bananas with the butter and sugar.
- Cook the bananas for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Be careful not to burn them; adjust the heat if necessary.
- Once caramelized, remove the skillet from the heat and let the bananas cool for a few minutes.
- In a blender, combine the caramelized bananas, 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 ounce of rum or bourbon.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the milkshake is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness or alcohol level if desired by adding more sugar or rum/bourbon.
- Pour the spiked caramelized banana milkshake into two tall glasses. You can garnish with additional caramel sauce or whipped cream if you like.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious spiked caramelized banana milkshake!
Tips
- • Choose very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum natural sweetness and easier caramelization • Use a non-stick skillet for even caramelization and easier cleanup • Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning the bananas and sugar • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute rum/bourbon with vanilla extract • Chill your glasses beforehand for an extra-cool presentation • If the milkshake is too thick, add milk gradually to achieve desired consistency • For added texture, reserve a few caramelized banana pieces to garnish the top of the milkshake • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the richest flavor profile
