Caramelized Mini-Banana Splits

• 2 oz (50 g) bittersweet chocolate, broken in pieces
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream</

Have ready 4 plates.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) or in a microwave. Set aside.

Remove the ice cream from the freezer.

Slice the bananas in half lengthwise. Heat the butter and sugar in a skillet, and brown the bananas. Do not overcook or the bananas go soggy and lose their shape.
