Recipe: Banana Sauce over Vanilla Ice Cream

This Bananas Foster-like sauce is what I used for my Banana Crepes about a week ago. I had a little left over sauce and decided it would go really well over vanilla ice cream…. and I was right!

I had a little Chantilly Cream left and put a dollop on top as well. This is a perfect example of finding ways to use the same recipe in different ways. I enjoyed the crepe on one day and the ice cream the next…. and nothing went to waste…. not that desserts go to waste in our house.

This sauce is great as a stand-alone sauce… a definite dessert sauce that can have many uses… here is the Banana Sauce recipe again.

This recipe uses rum extract instead of the real thing… feel free to use rum… just be careful when your skillet ignites because of the alcohol.

Enjoy!
