◷ 12 minYield: 2 servingsEasy

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, halved lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 80 g arequipe
  • 30 g toasted peanuts or pecans
  • Pinch of flaky salt

Method

  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add brown sugar.
  2. Cook banana halves cut-side down for 2–3 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Divide ice cream between bowls and add the warm bananas.
  4. Warm arequipe with 1–2 teaspoons water or milk until pourable, then drizzle over the sundaes.
  5. Finish with nuts and a tiny pinch of salt.
Arequipe noteThe salt matters here—it keeps the sundae from tasting one-note sweet.
