  • Make the caramelized bananas:Place bananas, cut side up, on a wire rack set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over moderate heat until mixture is amber, bubbles are thick, and a candy thermometer registers 375°F, 16 to 17 minutes. Immediately brush caramel over bananas; let stand until cooled completely and hardened, about 30 seconds.

  • Make the sundaes:Place bananas, caramel side up, in serving dishes. Top evenly with ice cream, hot fudge, strawberries, peanuts, and pineapple. Serve with whipped cream.

Make Ahead

Chocolate sauce can be made 3 days ahead and chilled. Before serving, reheat in a small bowl set over a pot of boiling water, or microwave in 30-second increments.
