Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 pint fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt
1/4 cup pecan halves, toasted

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine first 3 ingredients in medium skillet. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of skillet with wet pastry brush and swirling skillet, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add banana slices and stir gently to coat with caramel. Cool 5 minutes.
