Bananas Foster Shortcake

A wonderful change to the traditional strawberry shortcake. I separately posted the recipe for the shortcakes, please see Recipe #360946, to make them or use your own recipe. Update: I made this when my 2 older sister and my brother were down here for vacation. I made it without the pineapple, just because I didn't have it, but I know I would love the pineapple added to this delicious dessert. I also made my other posted recipe for Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Shortcake and all 3 of my siblings preferred this one!!
