Do you need a quick and delicious dessert? Or, perhaps you just want something a little different to serve as a sweet for breakfast in place of pancakes, muffins or waffles. English muffins have been a long time favorite choice for a quick pizza crust. I think they're also a stupendous choice to use as a crust for a dessert pizza and enjoyed as a sweet ending to any meal, even breakfast. Especially, when you're not particularly inclined to bake from scratch or simply not in the mood to prepare a more elaborate dessert. If you've been following my blog since the beginning, you know how much I love dulce de leche, and I have to admit, I'm busy dreaming up more uses for this heavenly product as I'm writing this recipe. I love these single serving dessert pizzas! The beauty of this sweet delight is that you can have a warm and gooey, caramel drippin', banana lovin', fluffy, creamy, dessert for 12 in around 15 minutes. Now, that's a joy that's worth sharing!! Oh yes, and if you're a fanatic like me and you love lots of caramel...go ahead and use 2 cans of dulce, after all, it is your party!! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone....
You'll need:
12 English muffin halves [I used Bays]
6 medium bananas
1-2 13.4 oz. cans of dulce de leche [I used Nestles]
4 Tbs. softened butter
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
20 oz. thawed frozen whipped topping/sweetened fresh whipped cream
Preheat the oven to broil and move the oven rack to the highest position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until fully blended. Slather each muffin half with the butter mixture. Arrange on the baking sheet and place into the oven to toast. Toast for 5-7 minutes or until golden.
While the muffins are toasting, warm the dulce de leche in the microwave until it's thin enough to drizzle. When you remove the toasted muffins from the oven, drizzle each with around a teaspoon of warm dulce de leche reserving the rest for the tops. If you're using 2 cans of dulce...drizzle to your hearts content!! Slice the bananas in half lengthwise, then chop into quarters. Divide the banana chunks equally between the toasted muffin halves. Drizzle each stack of bananas with the remaining dulce de leche and top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint. Serve immediately. Yield: 12 servings
Cook's note:
Dulce de Leche is a luscious thick caramel. It's readily available in most grocery stores, and it's primarily found in the Hispanic foods section. The can looks just like sweetened condensed milk, but, it 's very different, so, read the label carefully. You can also find it at import stores like World Market and in other speciality food stores.
