2. Prepare Coating:

   • In one shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg.
   • In another shallow bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts and breadcrumbs.

3. Coat Bananas:

   • Dip each banana piece firstly into the beaten egg, ensuring even coverage.
   • Next, coat the banana in the hazelnut and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Fry Bananas:

   • Heat cooking oil in a wok to 375ºF (190ºC).
   • Carefully add the coated bananas in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the wok.
   • Fry until the bananas turn golden brown, ensuring they are cooked evenly on all sides.
   • Once done, transfer the fried bananas to a plate lined with absorbent kitchen paper to drain excess oil.

5. Prepare Caramel Sauce:

   • In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the dark rum, brown sugar, water, and coconut milk, stirring continuously.
   • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. Serve:

   • Plate each individual portion of fried caramel bananas.
   • Serve alongside scoops of coconut and mango ice cream.
   • Drizzle the warm caramel and coconut sauce generously over the bananas and ice cream.
   • Garnish with additional chopped hazelnuts or shredded coconut, if desired.

Tips:

• Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying the bananas to achieve a crispy exterior.
• Use ripe bananas for a naturally sweeter taste and smoother texture.
• Customize the ice cream flavors according to your preference or what’s available.
• Stir the caramel sauce constantly to prevent it from sticking or burning.
• For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel sauce before serving for a delightful contrast of flavors.
