I recently discovered this tantalizing and very simple dessert recipe in the gourmet every day section of the november 2007 issue of gourmet magazine. Enjoy!!

Steps

Melt butter in a 12 inch heavy skillet over medium heat , then add bananas in 1 layer and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Increase heat to medium-high and cook bananas , gently turning once and shaking skillet occasionally , until sugar is caramelized , 3-4 minutes.
Divide bananas among 4 dessert bowls , leaving any remaining caramel in skillet.
Add cream to skillet and boil over medium heat , stirring , until caramel is dissolved.
Add chocolate with a pinch of salt and whisk until melted.
Top bananas with scoops of ice cream , then drizzle with some chocolate sauce , then sprinkle with nuts.
