I’ve been searching for this banana recipe. Had a Mexican sundae at Dos Caminos several years ago, before they changed need their menu. The bananas were like toffee crunch on the bottom. I purchased the cookbook and the sundae recipe wasn’t in it. It also had Mexican chocolate ice cream and two other flavors and churros and buttercrunch pieces and the most delicious flavors wish I had the entire recipe. Thanks for posting this.
