BANANA BLISS

Ready for a banana recipe?

I must caution you though; there are two types of people this will not work well for.

#1...the light-hearted eater because it's kind of loaded with heavy ingredients.

#2...those well-meaning individuals whose bananas are always nice and over-ripe.

(You either end up making banana bread or tossing them). You have to use the firm bananas for this recipe. The best way to serve this I think is warm over some French Vanilla ice cream

INGREDIENTS:

4 Tablespoons butter
6 firm bananas
4 Ounces cream cheese, softened
4 Tablespoons sugar
1 Teaspoon cinnamon
1 Cup heavy cream
whipped cream for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Melt butter. Slice bananas lengthwise. Sauté quickly over
high heat. Place 1/2 of bananas in buttered 8 x 8-inch dish.
Beat cream cheese with sugar and cinnamon. Spread 1/2 of
mixture over banana. Top with remaining bananas and spread
with remaining cheese mix. Pour cream over top; bake in 375
degrees oven for 20 minutes. Serve cool garnished with whipped
cream or warm over vanilla ice cream.

Yield: 9 Servings
