Happy Chinese New Year!

Today to celebrate Chinese New Year I made this Chinese desert called 'Toffee and Sesame bananas'. Here is the recipe:

Toffee and Sesame Bananas   (from http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/9110/toffee-and-sesame-bananas)

Ingredients:
· 6 large bananas , peeled and quartered
· 8 tbsp light muscovado sugar
· 2 tbsp butter
· 200ml double cream
· 2 tbsp sesame seeds , toasted
· good-quality vanilla ice cream, to serve

1.    Toss the bananas in 2 tbsp of the sugar. Heat a griddle to medium, then cook the bananas, a few pieces at a time, until sticky and showing gridd marks. Keep warm in a low oven.

2.    For the sauce, put the remaining sugar, the butter and cream into a saucepan and stir over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted. Stir in the sesame seeds. Can be made up to a day ahead. 

3. To serve, put a few pieces of banana into 8 serving dishes, spoon over some of the caramel, then top with a scoop of ice cream.
