Steps:

• Make the Caramel
• Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the brown sugar and butter. Allow both to melt and mix well using a heatproof silicone spatula.
• Fry the Bananas
• When the caramel is hot and bubbly, add the bananas, cut side down, along with the pecans. Allow the bananas to cook for about 3 minutes before turning them over. The cut side should have a deep golden brown color and a slightly crispy texture. (Depending on the ripeness of the banana, they may break. Don't worry about this; they will still be delicious.)

• If you must make them in advance, the bananas can be held in a warm oven for a few hours.

Turn heat to high and boil the mixture, without stirring, until it is a light to medium amber color, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and slowly stir in the cream. (Protect your face and hands, because the cream will spatter.) Stir until smooth, whisk in the butter and let cool.
• To make the ice cream base: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, scald the cream and milk. In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, whisk egg yolks and sugar.
