Directions
Dulce de leche:
Remove the label from the can of condensed milk and discard. Place the can in a saucepan with water to cover and bring to a boil then turn the heat to simmer for two hours. Let cool before opening the can. Store the dulce de leche in a jar and keep in your refrigerator until ready to use on desserts.
Pizza:
Melt chocolate over a double broiler.
Spread the chocolate sauce over the ready-made dough and bake for approximately three minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the dulce del leche.
Mix the cornstarch and water together and set aside. Place a large skillet over medium heat add the lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, bananas and cook until sugar melts, add the cornstarch mixture.
Remove the pan from the heat, pour the brandy over the banana mixture and ignite with a long lighter.
To assemble, spoon the bananas over the pizza, drizzle with caramel sauce then garnish with coconut flakes, mint leaves, whipped cream and serve with the ice cream.
