| Preparation: 5 minutes | Serves: 4 |
| Cooking: 5 minutes | Unbuttered |
| Ingredients | Quantity (metric) | Quantity (imperial) |
|---|---|---|
| Bananas | 3 | 3 |
| Caramel sauce | 4 tbsp | 4 tbsp |
| Vanilla ice cream | 4 scoops | 4 scoops |
| Caramel sauce | ||
| Light soft brown sugar | 175 g | 6 oz |

METHOD
- Buy a jar of caramel sauce and warm it gently in a pan.
- Add some chopped banana, and gently fry in the sauce for 2 minutes.
- Place it on the crumpets, add a scoop of ice cream on each, pour over the remaining caramel sauce from the pan, and add any other toppings.
- Gently heat the sugar in a non-stick pan until it starts to liquify and then starts to turn a golden colour. Don't stir, is the word on the caramel sauce cooking street.
- Stir in the butter, double cream and salt, and cook on a medium heat until the sauce is golden and syrupy.

OTHER NOTES
Coconut ice cream also works well. Or banana. Or even rum and raisin!
And why not top with some chopped hazelnuts. Seriously, pimp away!
