I enjoyed this. It was easy and quick and the instructions for the bananas was right on. The sauce though would have benefited from less alcohol - I probably used 2/3 of what the recipe stated and it still tasted like a bit too much. That said I will still make this again - it was a fast easy and elegant dessert. Thank you! Read More

I expected the chocolate sauce to be a little thicker. Also I thought the alcohol was really over powering for me. Read More

I had no problem with the amount of Triple Sec. I used whole milk instead of cream and I added the powdered sugar. Loved it and so did my dinner guests. Read More

I made this to use up some frozen bananas some strawberries and some oranges. Made the chocolate sauce without the orange liquor. I didn't have any on hand and since several people made remarks it was too much alcohol. I substituted the juice of an orange and orange zest. Used chocolate milk instead of cream. Cooked it a little longer to get a good consistency. I fried the bananas quartered the oranges that I had "peeled" with knife and some sliced strawberries. Placed the fruit on a platter and dribbled chocolate over it all. Even without the alcohol it still had that flavor. I'm not sure where that flavor came from. I forgot the vanilla so it wasn't from that. It was a great way to use up the fruit and it was a light dessert after a big dinner. Read More

Way to over powering with the alcohol ended up putting them in crepes and adding a strawberry fruit dip and a lil whipped cream Read More

This was a super yummy dessert! I made it for my grandparents' 55th anniversary and they loved it! The chocolate sauce and almonds just add to the deliciousness of the bananas, which makes for a wonderful treat! The only issue I had was flipping the bananas which become very fragile when they have been fried, so a bunch of the broke in half when I was flipping them. But nonetheless, still great! Read More
